NHERI Tallwood: Rocking walls in tall buildings. In our second episode with NHERI Tallwood co-PI Jeff Berman, we nerd out on “rocking walls.” How do these seismic-protection systems keep tall structures safe during earthquake shaking?

The NHERI Tallwood project is funded by the National Science Foundation, with support from many industry partners.
