Structural engineers at UC San Diego were waiting to see how a tall building, made from recycled steel, would react in a 6.9 magnitude earthquake. The earthquake shake table was ready to go as the ...

SAN DIEGO — SAN DIEGO — UC San Diego's outdoor shake table is pushing the boundaries of earthquake engineering, testing full-scale buildings to enhance California's resilience against seismic events.

A 10-story building looms above UC San Diego’s earthquake shake table near Scripps Ranch. Next week, the device will simulate an earthquake to see whether a structure made from a lightweight, recycled ...
