Researchers at Carleton University have developed a simulation tool that models historical earthquakes to evaluate building performance. The tool applies recorded ground motion data from past events to test how structures respond under those conditions.
Engineering professors at the university designed the simulator to assess preparedness of buildings against notable quakes. The system allows repeated testing of structural elements without requiring physical earthquake events.
Researchers apply the simulator to examine building components under specific historical seismic records. Results from the tests can inform design adjustments for improved structural resistance.
