In March 2009, a full-scale concrete masonry structure, with clay brick veneer, was subjected to shake-table testing at the Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (NEES) site located at the University of California at San Diego. The structure represented current construction practice, and was designed to TMS 402/602-08. Research program participant, Dr. Richard Klingner, University of Texas at Austin, will present an overview to the setup and procedures used for the research and share what has been learned so far from the shake-table test results.
