Reducing the devastating impacts of earthquakes since 2004. By simulating some of the most devastating earthquakes in modern history, research at our world-class, one-of-a-kind facility is dramatically transforming natural disaster mitigation and prevention. With a grant from the NSF, the recently upgraded shake table, LHPOST6, applies realistic earthquake motions with 6 degrees of freedom to test full-scale structural systems, from multi-story buildings to bridge columns, wind turbines and other structures.
