The NHERI Tall Wood project, which includes LEVER Architecture and KPFF Portland from the Framework project, completed shake table testing at UCSD in San Diego, on a full scale, two-story mass timber building to simulate the response of the building under earthquakes.
The building includes resilient self-centering post-tensioned CLT rocking walls, similar to Framework, and a near identical floor-to-wall connections. The test specimen underwent 10,000+ years of shaking in 5 days, including (6) San Francisco Design Basis Earthquakes with essentially no damage, and (4) Maximum Considered Earthquakes with only limited damage where expected.
