On New Year's Day 2024, a massive 7.5-magnitude earthquake struck the Noto Peninsula in north central Japan, resulting in extensive damage in the region caused by uplift, when the land rises due to ...
Researchers have developed a laboratory earthquake model that connects the microscopic real contact area between fault surfaces to the possibility of earthquake occurrences. Published in the ...
The ground north and east of Los Angeles holds one of Southern California’s most uneasy meeting points. At Cajon Pass, the San Andreas and San Jacinto fault systems crowd together in a tectonic ...
Tara Hutchinson, a professor in the UC San Diego Department of Structural Engineering, is the lead researcher on a series of tests on a 10-story, cold-formed steel-framed building at the UC San Diego ...
A team of researchers from the University of California, San Diego and Johns Hopkins University tested a 10-story, cold-framed steel building for seismic safety on Monday morning. The 10-story ...
Cal State Fullerton students were quite shaken up recently — for a good reason. CSUF was among three locations chosen statewide to host the Great California ShakeOut, providing the opportunity for the ...
Scientists used supercomputer simulation to reveal the underlying mechanism by which the irregular fault geometry, characterized by multisegments, controlled the variation of the fault slip and ...
