NHERI Lehigh EF Supports Innovative Research on Engineering Earthquake-Resilient Steel Buildings

Earthquakes and tall buildings mix about as well as running and scissors. Engineers are working on ways to make the combination less destructive. But before they can develop viable, cost-effective methods to reduce the effects of earthquakes on tall buildings, they have to understand the methods currently used to design them and the effect on the building’s performance. Earthquakes cause vibrations in the earth as two masses of the earth’s crust move against each other...
