Seismic performance evaluation of full-scale mass timber structures: comparative insights from tall and mid-rise shake table test programs
… design, construction, and testing of full-scale mass timber building specimens as part of two major multi-university projects - the NHERI TallWood and NHERI Converging Design research projects. These projects both focused on ensuring resilience for tall and mid-rise wood buildings in high seismic …
