“Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.”
- The earthquake laboratory simulates the effect that earthquakes have on structures. It uses a shaking table to evaluate such aspects as failure modes, energy dissipation capacity and improvement alternatives for seismic events.
- Physical models are installed on the shaking table in order to study the structural behavior and draw conclusions on construction systems and design standards.
- Seismolab's shaking table is the second equipment of its kind installed in Latin America. It has a mobile base driven by hydraulic actuators and allows near full-scale testing.
