Full-Scale Shake-Table Testing of a Six-Story Mass Timber Building at UC San Diego

It has now been about a month since the completion of our second experimental phase at the NHERI@UC San Diego Large High Performance Outdoor Shake Table of a six-story mass timber building structure. We collaborated with investigators from Oregon State University, Stanford University, Colorado State University and Penn State University and supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF) (#2120683, #2120692, and #2120684), the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) Agricultural Research Service (ARS), the Tallwood Design Institute, Simpson Strong-Tie, CoreBrace, and other industry partners listed on our project website: https://tallwoodinstitute.org/converging-design-partners/ (February 23, 2024)
