NHERI Tallwood: Advancing EQ resilience, sustainability

NHERI Tallwood: Advancing EQ resilience, sustainability

At NHERI UC San Diego, a full-scale, ten-story, mass-timber building rests on the platen of the world’s largest outdoor shake table. It is the NSF-funded NHERI Tallwood project. The goal of this multi-million-dollar megaproject? To understand how tall wooden structures – with carefully designed structural and non-structural elements – perform under earthquake loading.


Nominations Now Open for 2023 Dataset Awards — The DesignSafe Dataset Awards recognize outstanding datasets published in the Data Depot data repository. Multiple Dataset Awards are recognized annually and the selection committee considers datasets across the different types of data models (e.g., experimental, simulation, hybrid simulation, field research, other).

When Extreme Events Strike — A snapshot of work underway by NHERI teams during Hurricane Ian's landfall. When natural hazards strike, researchers around the NHERI network spring into action — eager to do what they do best: document extreme events and their damage with imagery and data — in hopes of preventing similar destruction in the future.
