A 40-second test in Japan on the world’s largest shake table demonstrated for the first time that wood-framed mid-rise buildings can be built to withstand major earthquakes, say researchers. The ...

A 10-story mass timber “rocking” frame, designed to be resilient enough to withstand powerful earthquakes with little or no structural damage, proved its worth May 9 during seismic simulations at the ...

Last month, a seismic shake test was conducted on a 10-story wooden structure—the world’s tallest building to be tested on a shake table earthquake simulator. The goal? To validate the strength of ...
