Structural engineer simply explains how the world's tallest earthquake test will change wood construction forever. This mass timber skyscraper is the tallest building to ever be constructed and tested on the world's largest outdoor earthquake simulator (shake table) at UC San Diego. How the new mass timber rocking wall technology will make buildings nearly earthquake proof.
