Simulating the physical movements of earthquakes isn’t an easy task. However, shake tables provide an accurate and visually stimulating way to determine how a rumbler may affect a bridge, building or ...

This Safety Plan is an integral part of the management and operations of UB’s Structural Engineering and Earthquake Simulation Laboratory (SEESL), applied to all its services. The two shake tables of ...

Simulations still can't predict exactly when an earthquake will happen, but with the incredible processing power of modern exascale supercomputers, they can now predict how they will happen and how ...

The Energy Geosciences Division at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, or Berkeley Lab, is working in partnership with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory on a project to create a ...

Collaboration between governmental and academic institutions is key to mitigating regional and national hazards, a reality the University’s earthquake lab understands and implements. The Center for ...

To make sure buildings and infrastructure are increasingly earthquake-safe, engineers must understand how seismic activity affects different structures. A new era in large-scale earthquake engineering ...

The Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering at the University at Buffalo has an extensive earthquake simulation, structural testing and geotechnical engineering testing facility.

A machine-learning approach developed for sparse data reliably predicts fault slip in laboratory earthquakes and could be key to predicting fault slip and potentially earthquakes in the field. A ...

Accurately modeling the effects of an earthquake is possible, but it requires intricate physics-based models that can only be run on advanced supercomputers. The data from such models are invaluable ...

The University of Nevada, Reno has been awarded $12.2 million from the U.S. Department of Commerce's National Institute of Standards and Technology, it was announced Wednesday. This will fund the ...
