🏢 Earthquake safety is about more than building codes — it’s science, supercomputers, and groundbreaking labs.
Discover how the Large-Scale Laminar Soil Box System, the largest facility of its kind in the USA, is replicating earthquakes in the lab to understand how soil and buildings interact during seismic events.
đź’» Using the Frontier supercomputer, capable of a quintillion calculations per second, scientists are running detailed simulations that were never possible before. These results will be publicly available to inform safer construction and help protect communities worldwide.
📌 In this video, you’ll learn:
How earthquake simulations guide resilient building design
Why soil and structure interactions matter during quakes
How open-access supercomputing can improve disaster preparedness
The potential impact on saving lives and reducing economic losses
🔬 This is a scientific breakthrough that turns lab research into real-world solutions for earthquake-resilient cities.
