The world's largest earthquake-simulation shake table in Miki City, Japan played a large role in helping scientists design buildings that could withstand large earthquakes. The devastating earthquake ...

Last month, a seismic shake test was conducted on a 10-story wooden structure—the world’s tallest building to be tested on a shake table earthquake simulator. The goal? To validate the strength of ...

A full-scale, two-story, light-frame wood townhouse building, designed according to modern US engineered seismic design requirements, was tested on two tri-axial shake tables operating in unison, as ...

A two-story wooden structure endured four different earthquake simulations on July 14, 2017 on the world's largest outdoor shake table here in San Diego. And it's still standing before more tests in ...
