What an exciting week for the CFS10 project! 🎉 Big kudos to the team at LHPOST6 for lifting and installing the 9th and final CFS module, reaching 100 feet and hitting the 10-story milestone! UC San Diego U.S. National Science Foundation NHERI Dream team ➡️cfs10.ucsd.edu/people/ Watch⬇️

Congrats to Shake Table PI John McCartney on the 2025 Shamsher Prakash Award & Lecture from ASCE Headquarters. His pioneering work in unsaturated soil mechanics, geosynthetics and energy geotechnics is shaping the future of the field. Read more⤵️ se.ucsd.edu/awards/asce-re…


Had a blast during a shake table tour for UC San Diego Revelle Freshman Honors Seminar! Co-PI Lelli Van Den Einde led a lecture on the shake table’s role in disaster engineering, followed by a tour with 19 engaged students. U.S. National Science Foundation More info on tours⬇️ esec.ucsd.edu/education-outr…


Love seeing engineering students in action! This winter, Tayo Ilunga-Reed and Tyler Sugrim from Johns Hopkins Engineering helped prep a 10-story cold-formed steel project for shake table testing. They're shaping the future of #earthquake resilience! U.S. National Science Foundation Read⬇️ engineering.jhu.edu/case/news/hopk…



Industry partners are vital to shake table projects, providing expertise & support and aiding research on #earthquake resilience. One of them is Grabber Construction Products, key partner for the current CFS10 project. U.S. National Science Foundation NHERI More ⬇️ linkedin.com/feed/update/ur…



The CFS10 building is moving along nicely! Scheduled to shake this summer!
