Sound up! The UCSD campus and the NHERI TallWood testing site hosted Simpson Day. Our Simpson Strong-Tie employees had the opportunity to watch a live in-person seismic test of the 10-story mass-timber building. This is the tallest full-scale building ever constructed on an earthquake simulator. This building was put to the test and still stands tall. Although the results of this experiment will take some time to be published, we're excited to see what new insights it will bring and how it can help us build safer, stronger, structures.
