Simpson Strong-Tie® collaborates on NHERI Converging Design Project

As part of the Natural Hazards Engineering Research Infrastructure (NHERI) Converging Design project, Simpson Strong-Tie collaborated with several universities to perform a series of outdoor shake table tests on a six-story hybrid structural steel and mass timber structure at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD).
This project followed the NHERI TallWood project, also conducted at UCSD, which simulated a series of large earthquakes and their effects on a full-scale, 10-story mass timber building.
