Protecting Valuable Equipment from Earthquake Damage- Scott Harvey
About this episode
Protecting valuable equipment from earthquake damage
Rolling base-isolation system keeps objects safe within data centers, hospitals, and museums.
Scott Harvey, earthquake engineer from the University of Oklahoma, is developing a base-isolation system for protecting critical equipment and objects inside buildings: things such as data center computers, power systems, medical equipment -- even artworks. Harvey uses the multidirectional shake table at NHERI Lehigh experimental facility to test his base-isolator designs.
