The Hayward fault, part of the larger San Andreas fault system, runs 74 miles through the East Bay of the San Francisco Bay Area. The fault is overdue for an earthquake that could cause extensive ...

Simulations still can't predict exactly when an earthquake will happen, but with the incredible processing power of modern exascale supercomputers, they can now predict how they will happen and how ...

According to Ceferino, preliminary findings showed that people’s responses were not linear. “The risk perception at some point increases dramatically because things are falling and the shaking is so ...

The Hayward fault line has not had a major earthquake since 1868, but new simulations designed by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have found the Bay ...

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 ...

Growing up, many of us were taught to drop, cover and hold on during an earthquake. The guidance is straightforward, but how people actually respond when the ground starts shaking can be far more ...
