Portland State University researchers test out new method to protect buildings from earthquakes
PORTLAND, Ore. (KGW) - Portland State University researchers are testing a brand-new way to protect buildings during earthquakes. They simulated an earthquake using a massive mobile field shaker known as T-Rex. It was used to demonstrate the effectiveness of microbial induced desaturation. It’s a method using microbes to fortify soil against liquefaction. Liquefaction is the
