The proposed framework combines machine learning and earthquake engineering to prioritize high-risk buildings, optimizing ...

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 ...

Tara Hutchinson, a professor in the UC San Diego Department of Structural Engineering, is the lead researcher on a series of tests on a 10-story, cold-formed steel-framed building at the UC San Diego ...

Civil engineering professor Moussa Leblouba from the University of Sharjah in the UAE has developed a simple device designed ...

WHAT: A 30-foot, scale-model steel bridge will be rocked and shaken on an earthquake simulator at the University of California, Berkeley. Engineers will demonstrate a new bridge design that they say ...

Drivers on Interstate 15 may have noticed smoke near Pomerado Road this morning. KPBS education reporter Katie Anastas says it was part of a UC San Diego study on how fire spreads through ...

For some 4,600 years, the sheer size of the Great Pyramid of Giza helped it survive conflicts and threats. But how the ...

Zig-zagging around the glass-and-steel perimeter of the UC Berkeley Grimes Engineering Center, 36 thin metal rods could be what it takes to prevent the building’s total destruction. The rods are the ...

Analyst Insight: Before a single delivery hits the warehouse floor, there’s a critical step that many facilities overlook: Confirming what local codes, seismic requirements and load conditions ...

The imperative for such innovation in that field is massive. For instance, despite lasting only 20 seconds, the 1995 earthquake that struck Kobe, Japan destroyed 100,000 buildings, and the 2011 ...
