<p class="MsoNormal">We were hoping to advertise for an ongoing shake table experimental program testing a 6-story building at the UCSD shake table. Some phases of testing were completed in November, with two upcoming phases scheduled for this December and
early next year.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What would be the best way to ensure that the NHERI Technology Transfer Committee is aware of the testing? I’ve attached a detailed blurb that describes the testing, along with some images of the shake table specimen.
