How it works The UBC system uses a combination of rocking foundations, outriggers and dampers that allow the building to “rock” and absorb earthquake energy, instead of resisting it rigidly. This ...

A 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck Myanmar, releasing energy equivalent to over 300 atomic bombs and causing more than 1,600 deaths. Aftershocks may persist due to ongoing tectonic activity.

A catastrophic 7.7-magnitude earthquake has rocked Myanmar, unleashing energy equal to 334 atomic bombs. Thousands are missing, and with aftershocks looming, fear grips the nation. Rescue efforts ...

One of the state’s strongest earthquakes to date rattled West Texas late Friday evening. Four minutes later, dispatchers in Reeves County received a call about a pipeline explosion not far from ...

For each whole number increase in magnitude, the seismic energy released increases by about 32 times. That means a magnitude 7 earthquake produces 32 times more energy — or is 32 times stronger ...

A 3.8 magnitude earthquake off of Maine rocked the New England coast from Augusta to Cape Cod on Monday morning, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The earthquake occurred 6.8 miles off the ...

Dissipation devices hitherto rely on steel and its yielding properties to help buildings withstand the power of seismic energy accompanying earthquakes.But the patent, according to its inventors ...

The measurable shaking that earthquakes produce is only one part of the energy they release. The rest of an earthquake’s energy goes into processes inside the fault such as overcoming friction and ...

Their findings suggest the Ichinokawa breccia were formed by 10 to 100 earthquakes with a moment magnitude (an index of seismic energy) estimated to be 5.8–8.3 Mw. Further analysis revealed that ...

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Friday's 4.8 magnitude earthquake in northern New Jersey is the strongest centered in the Garden State in centuries. Not since what is believed to have been a 5.3 magnitude ...
