Winter Meeting 2010 – Week 5

This week at SEAOC, Damon Ho, an engineer from Simpson Strong-Tie and previous ARCE faculty member gave a presentation on Simpson’s full-scale 7-story timber shake table test in Japan. SEAOC members thoroughly enjoyed this fascinating presentation. A few highlights of the presentation were the time-lapse video of construction and the video of the building being tested.  Damon also touched on the new moment frames that were being tested and the findings of the testing. As always, Damon gave a very interesting presentation, and the ARCE department is always happy to have him back.
