Tsunami: Discover the Secrets of the Earth
Tsunamis (pronounced soo-ná-mees), also known as seismic sea waves (mistakenly called "tidal waves"), are a series of enormous waves created by an underwater disturbance such as an earthquake, landslide, volcanic eruption, or meteorite.
Building 57 story skyscraper in 19 days
The building has 800 apartments and enough office space for 4,000 people. It was originally planned to be built up to a height of 220 storeys, but it was cut down because of concern it was too close to a nearby airport.
3-D seismic mapping - ExxonMobil
Four decades ago, ExxonMobil pioneered an exploration technology called 3-D seismic, which uses sound waves to form sharp three-dimensional images of underground formations, facilitating the location of oil and gas deposits.

Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis of Adobe Structures Strengthened by Synthetic Nylons
Adobe (or air-dried mud) brick is one of the earliest construction materials used around the world. High shear force from settlement or earthquake effect, shear cracks often develop, thereby severely compromising the integrity of the structure.
Finite Element Analysis of Cable-Stayed Strands Failure due to Fire
The failure of one structural element can lead to the failure of the other structural components where ultimately result in the collapse of the large sections or the entire structure.
