Chennai: City researchers developed two technologies for constructing climate- and seismic-resistant structures in remote and mountainous regions, usi.

Architects, engineers and urban planners have long sought to disaster-proof Japan’s buildings through ancient wisdom, modern innovation and ever-evolving regulations.

One of the major (and oldest) challenges in the earthquake engineering field has been and still continues to be the conceptualization, development, and implementation of innovative ...

The University's Earthquake Engineering Laboratory combined with the Large-Scale Structures Laboratory, are the biggest, most versatile large-scale structures and earthquake/seismic engineering ...

A new specially-engineered brick can isolate partition walls from a building’s main structure to reduce damage in earthquakes, Spanish scientists claim. They effectively serve as an insulating barrier ...

University of Alabama (UA) researchers are leading an effort to develop taller, sturdier wood-framed buildings in earthquake-prone areas. Dr. Thang Dao, UA assistant professor of civil, construction ...

It was a transformative experience. Dr. Lin shifted his research focus to developing new techniques to make steel structures safer and more earthquake-resistant.

Structural steels are ductile and allow for building structures, which are able to deform without breaking, to make use of numerous possible local deformations of various types. The advantage of using ...
