design methodologies for CFS building systems, shake table tests will be
performed at the NSF-supported Natural Hazards Engineering Research
Infrastructure (NHERI) Large High Performance Outdoor Shake Table at UC
San Diego, in June-July 2018 (phase 1) and Nov-Dec 2018 (phase 2). <span></span></span></p>
