EPISODE 3 NHERI Tallwood: Testing earthquake performance of mass timber products In our final episode with NHERI Tallwood co-PI Jeff Berman, we learn about some of the wood products used in this 10-story wood structure — such as mass-plywood panels, cross-laminated timber, and laminated veneer lumber. Industry partners like Boise Cascade and Freres Engineered Wood have donated many mass-timber components, wanting to discover if they are resilient to earthquake loading. “This ten-story building has just about every type of mass timber that is currently made in it.” -- Jeff Berman Here’s a list of industry partners working with the NHERI Tallwood team, including wood product manufacturers: http://nheritallwood.mines.edu/collaboration.html @Boise_Cascade @NHERI_UCSD @UCSanDiego @UCSDJacobs @NSF @slpei @commresilience @MinesCEE @coschoolofmines @uwengineering #NHERITallwood #CLT #Crosslaminatedtimber #CLT #massTimber #naturalhazards #resilience #NSFfunded #earthquakeEngineering #NSFStories Get the backstory on NHERI Tallwood: http://nheritallwood.mines.edu/ DYK?
