Science Channels: Earthquakes Keywords: Earthquake, Seismic, Civil Engineering	Rensselaer Researchers To Participate in Seismic Test of Seven-Story Building Rensselaer Associate Professor Michael Symans and incoming Dean of Engineering David Rosowsky are among the team of researchers who will converge in Japan next week to perform the largest earthquake simulation every attempted on a wooden structure. The multi-university team has placed this seven-story building on the world's largest shake table and will expose it to the force of an earthquake that hits once but every 2,500 years.
