Researchers will shake a 10-story mass timber building–the tallest full scale building to be tested on an earthquake simulator. The building will undergo two test that are the equivalent of the 6.7 magnitude 1994 Northridge earthquake and the 7.7 magnitude Chi Chi earthquake that took place in Taiwan in 1999. The UC San Diego earthquake simulator is one of the two largest shake tables in the world. It has recently been upgraded to move in 3D–6 degrees of freedom (east/west, north/south, up and down, and roll pitch and yaw).
