In this episode, earthquake engineer and NHERI Tallwood co-PI Keri Ryan gets specific about NHERI Tallwood nonstructural components: non-loadbearing walls — elements extremely prone to earthquake drift and damage. Ryan shows us the cold-formed-steel exterior-wall subassemblies and some of the innovative building components that can prevent non-structural deformations due to ground shaking.
