Earthquakes are notoriously hard to predict, and so too are the usually less-severe aftershocks that often follow a major seismic event. Earthquakes are notoriously hard to predict, and so too are the ...

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 ...

"We are a long way off from predicting natural earthquakes, but understanding the physics of labquakes and how they evolve allows us to better understand the mechanics of real earthquakes," said ...

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, the newest ...

The technology used to measure and monitor earthquakes has remained largely unchanged over the past century, but a breakthrough from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory utilizing telecommunication ...

The McLaskey Research Group, led by Prof. Gregory McLaskey, civil and environmental engineering, has made a breakthrough in the study of earthquakes by experimentally showing that the fracture energy ...

Earthquakes can be deadly and disastrous. But what we feel may constitute a tiny sliver of an earthquake’s destructive energy, according to a new experiment. In a recent AGU Advances paper, ...

A period of slow, creeping movement without any shaking may be a necessary prelude to earthquakes, a new study suggests. The research, which was on the fundamentals of how materials rupture, focused ...

Earthquake-engineering researchers at the Harbin Institute of Technology in China work to set up a structure on a shake table for experiments to study the effects of earthquakes. Purdue University ...

ITHACA, N.Y. -- Earthquakes are notoriously hard to predict, and so too are the usually less-severe aftershocks that often follow a major seismic event. Greg McLaskey ’05, associate professor of civil ...
