Earthquake simulator gives model levee a big shakeBut a series of simulations on a 6-foot-high levee appeared to show that the soupy foundations that stirred such concern are surprisingly ...

UC Davis' Center for Geotechnical Modeling on Monday joined a national effort in earthquake simulation with the launch of the George E. Brown Jr. Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (NEES).

An experimental program using a 6 degree-of-freedom earthquake simulator at the University at Buffalo was executed to generate data for supporting validation of numerical models for seismic ...

This report describes earthquake-simulator experiments of a scaled model of a prototype fluoride-salt cooled high-temperature nuclear reactor.

Computer scientists, mathematicians and geophysicists have optimized the SeisSol earthquake simulation software on the SuperMUC high performance computer to push its performance beyond the ...

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 ...

After a succession of eight separate earthquake simulations, a 110-foot long, 200-ton concrete bridge model withstood a powerful jolting, three times the acceleration of the disastrous 1994 ...

Morgan State University is going green as it unveiled a new, state-of-the-art building that will offer features such as an earthquake simulation chamber, 3D projectors and rain gardens that will ...

Various layers of the earth plus buildings on top of and within them behave differently during an earthquake. Interactions between these layers expound complexity of earthquake models. Credit ...

Researchers will be conducting tests that stage a magnitude 8.0 earthquake on a 110-ft. suspension bridge today. Resting on three giant shake tables and hydraulic platforms, the four-span bridge is ...
