Jeffrey Berman Mini Episode 1

NHERI Tallwood Megaproject: a research and industry partnership. DesignSafe Radio host Dan Zehner catches up with Jeff Berman, NHERI Tallwood co-PI and earthquake engineer from the University of Washington. Berman explains how “mega-projects” like Tallwood simply can’t be done without significant collaboration between academia and industry experts at companies such as Simpson Strong-Tie, Swinerton and others with expertise in building construction, engineering, and mass timber design. The NHERI Tallwood project is funded by the National Science Foundation, with support from many industry partners. The shake table experiment is slated for early March, 2023.
