The Great Bristol Shake Off - making our world earthquake safe

Do you know how many earthquakes there have been in the UK in the last 100 days? If you would like to find the answer, and know why the answer is important, come and visit us at our stand at the Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition from 1-7 July.

What else can I find out?

BE AN EARTHQUAKE:  Come and feel the force of an earthquake

BE AN EARTHQUAKE ENGINEER: Have a go at making a building safe from an earthquake

BE A NUCLEAR ENGINEER: Find out how we are helping make nuclear power stations safe from earthquakes

Earthquake competition

Civil Engineering students compete to create the best structure to survive an earthquake. The shaking table runs a series of stronger and stronger shakes until only one tower remains standing. If you'd like to have a go at something similar, come and see us at the Great Bristol Shake Off stand.
