Fellows in KDMC workshops often create integrated multimedia projects as part of their training. We publish finished training projects for posterity. View more projects.
Are we safe from the next killer quake?
Thousands of highway overpasses throughout California are in danger of failing during a catastrophic earthquake. Civil engineers are taking a close look at the way bearings – the components sandwiched between a bridge deck and its supporting pillars -- perform during quakes. At the seismic lab, they are running earthquake simulation tests on bearings made of different materials. The goal: Safer overpasses.
