Laboratory technician Chad Lyttle makes adjustments to sensor cables in final preparations for earthquake engineering tests at the University of Nevada, Reno's Large-Scale Structures Lab. The first-ever tests on a bridge with truck traffic will help improve design regulations and standards and assure safer bridges during large earthquakes.
