Researchers have successfully simulated a high magnitude earthquake on the largest building ever tested, and the structure survived. Global interest in mass timber construction -- which involves thick ...

Buildings made of mass timber – layers of wood bonded together – are gaining popularity as greener and faster alternatives to concrete and steel structures. With new building codes recently updated to ...

In earthquake-prone areas like Japan, there is a need for better prediction of soil stability to mitigate liquefaction risks. Towards this end, researchers have used machine learning models, including ...

Keywords: Molten salt, pebble-bed reactors; graphite reflector; annular tanks; seismic behavior; fluid-structure interaction; base isolation; design recommendations. Abstract: This report describes ...

The building was "dancing" underneath the simulator, scientists said. Researchers have successfully simulated a high magnitude earthquake on the largest building ever tested, and the structure ...
