Designing structures to withstand extreme movement, even the intense effects of seismic events, can be a challenge. The best way to help ensure performance in these conditions is to build and test a mock-up prior to finalizing the design details and moving forward with building construction. Learn more about the benefits of mock-ups here.
The Build Meets World blog covers the design, construction, testing, restoration, and maintenance of the building envelope. We educate architects, contractors, facility managers, and others in the industry to construct and maintain durable, energy-efficient buildings.
