SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — Researchers at UC San Diego on Monday put a 10-story, cold-formed steel building to the test, simulating how the structure would move in the midst of a major earthquake. The ...

SAN DIEGO — SAN DIEGO — UC San Diego's outdoor shake table is pushing the boundaries of earthquake engineering, testing full-scale buildings to enhance California's resilience against seismic events.

Structural engineers at UC San Diego were waiting to see how a tall building, made from recycled steel, would react in a 6.9 magnitude earthquake. The earthquake shake table was ready to go as the ...

A 10-story tower mostly made of wood withstood a simulated 7.7 earthquake on UC San Diego’s outdoor shake table Tuesday, underscoring a belief by some engineers that such structures could safely be ...

A team of researchers from the University of California, San Diego and Johns Hopkins University tested a 10-story, cold-framed steel building for seismic safety on Monday morning. The 10-story ...

It’s a humbling sound: middle-schoolers hearing a structure crash into pieces after they spent the past five weeks building it. For Jefferson Middle School student Emma Davis, it’s also a familiar ...

UC San Diego is preparing to use its outdoor shake table in Scripps Ranch to determine whether 10-story buildings made of cold-formed steel can withstand massive earthquakes. The height limit for ...
