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 ...

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 ...

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.

Al Jazeera mentioned UB’s Structural Engineering and Earthquake Simulation Laboratory and quoted Michel Bruneau, SUNY Distinguished Professor in the Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental ...

A massive spinning wheel in one researcher's lab could help explain how major earthquakes get their start and help shed light on the risks that earthquakes pose. "Anything that improves our ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers have discovered a sea's worth of water locked within the sediment and rock of a lost volcanic plateau that's now deep in the Earth's crust. Revealed by a 3D seismic image, the water lies ...

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 ...

NCET helps you explore business and technology. It’s a little-known fact that Nevada experiences thousands of earthquakes each year — most all of them being too small to feel. However, the potential ...
