New publication alert! This one is on a Whole-Building Life-Cycle Assessment (WBLCA) case study for the #NHERI #TallWood and #NHERI #Converging #Design Ten- and Six-Story buildings tested on the shake-table at the NHERI@UC San Diego facility. The open access publication is available here: 10.13073/FPJ-D-24-00030R1.
We are thankful for the collaboration on a payload project led by Tara Hutchinson‘s research group on the use of UAVs to measure earthquake-induced structural displacements of the roof our 6-story NHERI Converging Design phase 2 testing. See recent publication on the topic here.
