Funded by the National Science Foundation, NEESWood’s goal is to safely increase the height of wood frame construction buildings to six stories while effectively incorporating technology that minimizes damage incurred by structures in a seismic event. In this episode, Dr. John W. van de Lindt, Associate Professor at Colorado State University, gives us an overview of the project and explains more about NEESWood. <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php"><img src="http://s9.addthis.com/button1-share.gif" width="125" height="16" border="0" alt="" /></a> <a href="http://www.addthis.com/feed.php?pub=ETVProducer&amp;h1=http%3A%2F%2Fengineeringtv.com%2Fblogs%2FMainFeed.aspx&amp;t1=" title="Subscribe using any feed reader!"><img src="http://s9.addthis.com/button1-rss.gif" width="125" height="16" border="0" alt="AddThis Feed Button" /></a> <p align="center" id="video_30004"><br />(3538 Views, 2 Comments)</p><img src="http://engineeringtv.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=30004" width="1" height="1">EducationSafetySimulationCivil
