Kudos to Tara Hutchinson, Benjamin Schafer & team for pushing boundaries with the #CFS10 project at the @ucsandiego.bsky.social shake table! This 10-story CFS tower—taller than code allows—is shaking up what’s possible for safer, greener and more resilient buildings. Watch ⤵️ youtu.be/hxHICcpQjxY?...

Shake table experiments are crucial in earthquake engineering because they help engineers understand how structures behave during earthquakes, which allows us to identify potential weaknesses and develop more effective seismic design and retrofitting strategies. This leads to safer buildings.

This shake table test at the @ucsdshaketable.bsky.social is re-creating the shaking experienced at a specific location in Gilroy, California during the 1989 magnitude 6.9 Loma Prieta earthquake. 🧪

When a 6.3 quake rocked Christchurch in 2011, devastation followed — buildings crumbled, 185 lives lost. But some structures stood strong, thanks to helical piles. Fast forward to 2016: Amy Cerato @ou.edu put them to the test on @ucsandiego.bsky.social shake table. Watch⤵️ youtu.be/fjUaS_INRyI?...
