Research
Studying how skyscraper foundations stand up to earthquakes
UC Davis engineers are preparing to conduct the first rigorous tests of how the steel columns that secure skyscrapers to their foundations stand up during earthquakes, research that could make the towering structures safer -- and perhaps less expensive to build.
“This is the most crucial connection in the building, but there is really not much known about how they behave in earthquakes,” said Amit Kanvinde, professor of civil and environmental engineering at UC Davis and leader of the project.
