The March 2011 events at Fukushima nuclear power plant have underscored the importance of resiliency of nuclear power plants for beyond-design-basis events, especially seismic related. As a ...
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 ...
Pleasanton, Calif. – Simpson Strong-Tie donated product and provided technical expertise for the CFS-NEES project, a series of earthquake tests for cold-formed steel-framed buildings. As part of the ...
Over the last decade, a fundamental shift in the national building codes has changed the landscape of seismic design. Building Teams that work out-side the West Coast could be designing for seismic ...
