[Cob] cob model stands up to massive earthquake

[Amanda Peck]

Yay!

I guess we'll see the shape of the building when you get up pictures (how 
much in the way of buttresses and so on, not what shape it was in after the 
test--we got told that!).

I've seen videos of truck cabs on the shake tables back when I worked for a 
truck manufacturer.  Shake tables are pretty exciting.

Ian wrote (snipped):
However, technical difficulties with the shake table hydraulics resulted in
the table repeatedly contacting the bumper pads, delivering massive shocks
and subjecting the model to excessive forces.
