Tectonic hazards/Concurrent testings

Educational level: this is a research resource.

Main resource: Earthquake engineering

Concurrent testings are the most vivid and persuasive way of validation of new earthquake-protective building technologies. They might include both real and virtual testings of two or more objects under the same conditions that simulate an earthquake-like excitation. For illustration, please see the images below:
