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 ...
Predicting earthquakes has long been an unattainable fantasy. Factors like odd animal behaviors that have historically been thought to ...
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 ...
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 ...
Man-made earthquakes, or induced seismicity, have become an increasing concern. These events can occur during fluid injection or extraction, such as in oil or gas reservoirs, wastewater disposal, or ...
The move is complete and experiments are underway in the University of Nevada, Reno's new Earthquake Engineering Laboratory. The College of Engineering hosted a grand opening today celebrating the new ...
RENO, Nev. (AP) — A day after a deadly earthquake struck Mexico City, University of Nevada scientists will mimic quakes to test new bridge designs developed to help the structures better withstand ...
LOGAN, UTAH, U.S.—You can see dark clouds forming in the distance and prepare for inclement weather. Hurricane forecasters can pinpoint storms as they develop over oceans, track their movement and ...
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) — Learn about what makes buildings and structures withstand earthquakes with marshmallows and spaghetti. Every Monday, Kern County STEM educators and enthusiasts share ideas ...
SEATTLE (AP) - The jumps, stomps and roars of fans cheering on the Seattle Seahawks have been known to shake the ground around CenturyLink Field. Now scientists will use expected fan quakes during ...
