First-Of-Its-Kind Test For Mass Timber’s Seismic Resilience

Practical testing is underway at the University of California San Diego to investigates a robust university-backed testing process to conduct earthquake simulations to assess the material’s resilience. The project could pave the way for changes in building codes for residential and commercial structures that could lead to more widespread adoption of mass timber as a sustainable, strong, and versatile building material.
