RENO, Nev. – A 70-foot-long, 52-ton concrete bridge survived a series of earthquakes in the first multiple-shake-table experiment in the University of Nevada, Reno's new Earthquake Engineering Lab, ...

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 ...

Research engineers at the University of Nevada, Reno’s world-renowned earthquake engineering lab are getting ready to shake up a million pounds of steel and sand. Construction is underway on one of ...
