The upgrade to the Large High Large High Performance Outdoor Shake Table, LHPOST, continues apace. Once the work is completed, in the fall of 2021, the NHERI at UC San Diego shake table will be able to reproduce earthquake ground motions in six-degrees-of-freedom. The facility, now called LHPOST6, will significantly advance earthquake engineering.

Although COVID-19 restrictions disallow on-site tours, the UC San Diego facility had generously created a virtual tour. Site PI Joel Conte provides an informative 20-minute walk-through of the work in progress. Find it on YouTube:
