Quake test helps set a new standard for building on soft soil
10 May 2012
An often quoted parable has the "foolish builder" building on sand, but in reality many major cities are built on soft deposits – some in earthquake prone regions – and world-leading research at UTS will help make them safer.
Tests conducted last week on UTS's shake table, the largest facility of its kind in Australia, gathered experimental data to support mathematical and computer modelling that together will set a new standard for constructing high-rise buildings in soft soil conditions.
