Post tensioning! UFPs! Buckling braces and coupled frames! EQ engineer @BarbosaRDGroup describes the NHERI Converging Design project, currently testing resilient building components on the @NHERI_UCSD shake table.

@DavidRosowsky My first thought was "are these in celcius?" 🥶

[Andre Barbosa @BarbosaRDGroup]

@DavidRosowsky @ASCETweets @OregonState @TAMU Congratulations on your award as well @DavidRosowsky. It was my honor to be in the same room with many fantastic colleagues that I look up to. Thank you also for sharing the picture.

Today the top 4 stories of the NHERI TallWood building were dissembled. This marked the end of the 10-story test phase.
After more than 150 earthquake tests, we pass the baton to @BarbosaRDGroup to conduct more tests on the 6-story structure with new lateral systems. Stay tuned!

Wall panels were cut by hand using chainsaw. Cutting face looks so fresh🤠 CLT and MPP panels stacking together again.

[Shiling Pei @slpei]

Floor panel coming off. Deconstruction speed averaging 2.5 days/floor. We should be down to 6 st next week👍

[Shiling Pei @slpei]

Rocking wall panels were chainsawed into segments and brought down. Surprised to see the nice and smooth cut from a hand held chainsaw. Both CLT @SmartlamNA and MPP (frereswood. com) are easy to work with👍

Please stay safe as #hurricane #hilary approaches Baja and southern CA. What lessons can be learned from #naturalhazards research? Submit an abstract by Aug 31 for the 2024 NHERI Computational Symposium at UCLA https://t.co/0Oy8Ve1pMi. @NHERIDesignSafe @NHERI_CONVERGE

[Anna Lang Ofstad PhD @zylient1]

Shut the front door! San Diego is on track to receive a direct hit from Hurricane Hilary with pockets of 10 inches possible. 2+ inches where I used to live. This is gonna be bad.

Are you modeling/simulating natural hazards? Consider submitting an abstract on your work to the NHERI Computational Symposium:

@slpei What about the blue sky in the background of this mass timber resilient building? It was great to visit @NHERI_UCSD and discuss more on the 6-story phases of this project. Exciting work ahead! @commresilience @TallWoodDesign @NSF @EngineeringOSU @BarbosaRDGroup

@slpei @OregonState @slpei we’re getting ready to test next week our Phase 3 of the Emmerson Lab Launch Initiative. Exciting times. Will post some updates next week!
