PhD student Greg Congdon (far left) inspects damage to the unreinforced masonry (URM) structure following the strongest and final shake test that took place last Thursday in Ketter Hall. The structure was the largest of this type to be tested on a shake table in the U.S. The tests, led by the Structural and Earthquake Engineering Simulation Laboratory, provide insight into the seismic performance of retrofitted URM buildings.
