In Earthquake testing, the engineers are using the world largest shake tables to test new construction methods for buildings in the areas prone to the earthquake.

Step-by-step explanation:

They believed that they have the devised a system to build the taller wood-frame buildings that can still safely withstand even very powerful tremors. To withstand the collapse, the buildings need to redistribute the forces that travel through them during a seismic event.

Shear wells, cross braces, diaphragm, and moment-resisting frame are the central reinforcing the building. Shear wells are the technology of the useful building. That helpful to transfer the earthquake forces.
