The Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat announced in Dubai that current codes of practice around the world are inadequate for the seismic design of tall buildings and has called for a more ...

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 ...

Researchers have developed a novel negative-stiffness isolation device that offers a pioneering solution for seismic protection. The device, designed to provide multidirectional negative stiffness and ...

Keywords: Earthquake engineering, seismic isolation, deformable rolling bearings, low-cost isolation for lightweight structures, triaxial shake table testing, and isolator behavior modeling. Abstract: ...

Some buildings don't just stand there. They push back. Whether it's the stomach-dropping view through a glass floor, the oppressive weight of raw concrete pressing in on all sides, or a corridor that ...

Innovative aerodynamic design in skyscrapers enhances structural stability, allowing for intentional flexibility to withstand ...

In Vancouver’s False Creek Flats, a 10-story mass timber office tower called the Hive has been completed with an innovative seismic design that allows it to flex and re-center during earthquakes.
