An experimental program using a 6 degree-of-freedom earthquake simulator at the University at Buffalo was executed to generate data for supporting validation of numerical models for seismic ...

Earthquakes and landslides are famously difficult to predict and prepare for. By studying a miniature version of the ground in the lab, scientists have demonstrated how these events can be triggered ...

Recent studies have shown that the seismic load case can substantially increase the overnight capital cost (OCC) of safety-class equipment in advanced nuclear power plants. Seismic isolation can ...

Earthquakes can be deadly and disastrous. But what we feel may constitute a tiny sliver of an earthquake’s destructive energy, according to a new experiment. In a recent AGU Advances paper, ...

At the Bedretto Underground Laboratory, scientists are inducing tiny earthquakes along a natural fault zone to learn what can ...

The technology used to measure and monitor earthquakes has remained largely unchanged over the past century, but a breakthrough from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory utilizing telecommunication ...

The McLaskey Research Group, led by Prof. Gregory McLaskey, civil and environmental engineering, has made a breakthrough in the study of earthquakes by experimentally showing that the fracture energy ...

The technology used to measure and monitor earthquakes has remained largely unchanged over the past century, but a breakthrough from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory utilizing telecommunication ...

RENO, Nev. (AP) — A day after a deadly earthquake struck Mexico City, University of Nevada scientists will mimic quakes to test new bridge designs developed to help the structures better withstand ...

FAYETTEVILLE -- The University of Arkansas, Fayetteville's College of Engineering tested a full-scale steel beam against simulated earthquake forces Wednesday, an experiment that can influence design ...

Deep earthquakes remain one of the most puzzling phenomena in geophysics, and the phrase “mechanism that supercharges” them captures both the mystery and the stakes. I cannot verify any specific new ...
