NHERI 10-Story Shake Table Test - San Diego, California

Timberlab is collaborating on an industry-wide research project to test mass timber’s seismic resiliency. The Natural Hazards Engineering Research Infrastructure (NHERI) project will examine the viability of a 10-story tall wood building by subjecting it to earthquake simulations on the world’s largest shake table. The research project represents a huge step toward advancing the mainstream adoption of mass timber construction. If successful, the NHERI shake table will reshape the possibilities for tall timber buildings in high seismic areas.
