Two DOE-funded projects — and a bunch of top supercomputers — are converging to improve our understanding of earthquakes and enable the construction of more earthquake-resilient buildings and infrastructure. The first, more grounded project: the Large-Scale Laminar Soil Box System, via which enormous amounts of soil can be shaken by a hydraulic platform to simulate earthquakes’ effects on soil layers; the second project, the ongoing EQSIM project, which aims to simulate earthquakes on supercomputers — and which is learning from the Soil Box results.
