With the aim of raising awareness and expanding knowledge about the advantages of wood in the built environment, reThink Wood has created an online library that collects a series of articles, reports, studies and videos that can be freely accessed right now. Here we have 5 outstanding resources related to seismic design and performance, which can help you solve this issue on your next project. Wood Meets Seismic Design Requirements (video)"Seismic loading is a concern in many areas of the world. Research and building code developments have demonstrated that wood structures can meet or exceed even the most demanding seismic design requirements. In this video, experts discuss how the light weight of wood compared to other building materials allows for a reduced horizontal force in seismic events."[Watch the Full Video]
