Professor Greg Deierlein, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Stanford University, used the world's largest shake table to test a new structural design that lets buildings rock during earthquakes, then pull themselves into plumb when the shaking stops, confining damage to replaceable steel "fuses.
Other labs include: a polymer crystallization lab; a shake table lab designed to test earthquake reliability; a heat exchange experiment; and a neutron beam defraction lab.
That's what happened recently in Grant County, where a group of conservationists, mill owners, loggers and government officials forged a compromise that will allow salvage logging in portions of a forest burned two years ago in the 14,527-acre Shake Table fire near John Day.
