Title: 2009 NEESWood Capstone Test
Post by: DrunkenDonut on Tue, 14 July 2009, 08:43:37
They're going to shake a 6-story wooden condo to study how earthquakes affect the structure. The webcast is going to be at 11am EDT. Cool stuff! It reminds me of when Sun did a shake table test of their server container and found all kinds of stuff ripped out of place. :D
