A 10-story building looms above UC San Diego’s earthquake shake table near Scripps Ranch. Next week, the device will simulate an earthquake to see whether a structure made from a lightweight, recycled ...

Cold-formed steel (CFS) has emerged as a versatile and sustainable material in modern construction, offering considerable advantages in terms of weight, ease of fabrication and enhanced performance ...

SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — “We are creating our own earthquake,” Tara Hutchinson, a professor of structural engineering at UCSD said. UC San Diego’s Englekirk Structural Engineering Center is home to ...

Cold-formed steel portal frames have emerged as a versatile and efficient structural system in modern construction. Their design exploits thin-walled steel sections, which are cold-formed to yield ...

"Three, two, one!” The tallest steel-framed building ever tested on an earthquake simulator started moving slowly, swaying and twisting. The 10-story, 100-foot structure was experiencing simulations ...

The process of cold working involves the strengthening of steel material by physically manipulating the material below the recrystallization temperature. The recrystallization temperature is defined ...
