The seismic signature of a fireball meteoroid event can be used to tell whether the fireball fragmented or remained intact as ...

Earthquake sensors may improve building safety. Aug. 11, 2010. 3 min read . In an effort to improve the design of structures to better withstand earthquakes, researchers at UCLA are developing testing ...

The sensors detect slow-slip earthquakes, seismic events releasing energy over days or weeks, that play a key role in building and releasing tectonic stress along major faults, according to a ...

The primary goal of the tests is to determine if height limits for cold-formed steel-framed buildings can be increased.

A 10-story building constructed from mass timber stands on a shake table in San Diego where it will be tested to see if it can withstand significant seismic activity.

Data from seismic sensors in buildings across Southern California show how the 7.1 Ridgecrest earthquake produced surprisingly long periods of shaking in some areas. Aug. 15, 2019 ...

A seismic sensor that's just a bit bigger than a beer can will be key to finding out why the 2014 Napa Valley Earthquake was as destructive as it was. And scientists are about to deploy 900 of ...

A 10-story cold-formed steel-framed building will soon be put to the test on an earthquake simulator at the University of California San Diego to see how well it can withstand earthquakes. The UC ...
