Japanese and American researchers have carried out the biggest earthquake simulation ever on a wooden building in a bid to seek ways to better protect homes in future big quakes.
The 40-second experiment, held in the southern Japanese city of Miki, used a seven-story wooden building placed on the world's largest shake table, and measured the building's movements by exposing it to the equivalent of a 7.5 magnitude quake.
