Building the World's Tallest Full-Scale Mass Timber Building for Seismic Testing

Watch this time-lapse construction of a 10-story mass timber building, built as part of the NHERI TallWood Test project that aims to demonstrate the resilience of tall timber structures. This groundbreaking initiative involves testing the building's strength against seismic activity by simulating a series of large earthquakes on a shake table. Simpson Strong-Tie is proud to be a part of this revolutionary project that explores the durability of tall timber buildings in earthquake-prone areas. Stay tuned for the upcoming video of the test, which will be the world's tallest full-scale building ever tested on an earthquake simulation.
