A ten-story, mass timber tower by LEVER Architecture underwent a shake test to investigate its seismic resiliency.
Simpson Strong-Tie has announced the successful completion of a series of seismic tests on the tallest building yet subjected to earthquake simulations.
A 10-story mass timber tower designed by LEVER Architecture in collaboration with several university and industry partners withstood a recent seismic resiliency test at UCSD's Englekirk Structural Engineering Center.
(SAN DIEGO) -- Researchers have successfully simulated a high magnitude earthquake on the largest building ever tested, and the structure survived. Global interest in mass timber construction -- which involves thick, compressed layers of wood, bonded together, creating structural load-bearing elements -- has skyrocketed in the last several years, after the International Building Code announced the
