NEESwood Capstone Building (140%)

In Miki City, Japan, we tested the NEESWood Capstone building to the Canoga Park recording of the Northridge earthquake at 140% of the original recording. This is approximately 1.16 times the design-basis earthquake for Los Angeles. Damage was minimal and non-structural with some small drywall cracks near the windows at approximately 45 degrees. This short video of the shake is provided by Dr N. Kawai, BRI.
