“Japan uses various techniques to make earthquake-resilient structures. At the core of Japan’s infrastructure is Taishin — an earthquake-resilient code every building must follow.

Earthquakes never occur when you need one, so a team led by Johns Hopkins structural engineers is shaking up a building themselves in the name of science and safety. Researcher Ben Schafer (left), ...

In this activity you will build a sweet building on a homemade shake table and find out how an earthquake impacts buildings constructed on sand. How will your structure perform in a model earthquake?

Engineering researchers have concluded months of rigorous earthquake simulation tests on a half-scale three-story structure, and will now begin sifting through their results so they can be used in ...

Protecting buildings from earthquakes Article by Julie Stewart Photo courtesy Jovan Tatar May 03, 2019 Engineering professor studies effectiveness of retrofits to strengthen concrete structures ...

University of Washington researchers are in San Diego conducting earthquake tests with the tallest building ever on a shake table.

The experiment titled “Earthquake-Proof Structures” taught students the importance of building structurally sound buildings, especially in areas where earthquakes occur frequently.

The use of inappropriate building codes for tall structures in those and other cities could lead to inefficient and potentially unsafe construction, according to the CTBUH. That leads some architects, ...

10 cutting-edge technologies that help buildings resist earthquakes Cardboard tubes Cardboard tubes might seem like an unlikely solution for earthquake resistance, but they have found their place ...

Multiple USC buildings may need earthquake retrofits USC said four structures were retrofitted out of nine reported potentially unsafe.

He urged the state government, through local authorities, to update the High-Rise Building Technical Guidelines by making earthquake-resistant design mandatory for all new development projects.
