GETTING READY TO RUMBLE. Twin "shake tables" weighing 19,500 pounds apiece arrived at Ketter Hall this week. When operational, the tables will provide real-time seismic testing of structures of up to 120 feet in length, giving UB researchers a better understanding of how even very large structures behave during earthquakes. The shake tables are the centerpiece of a $20 million expansion of the Structural Engineering and Earthquake Simulation Laboratory, to be completed in the fall. (Photo: Donna Budniewski)
