NSF Award Search: Award # 1135029 - NEESR: Seismically Isolated Unibody …
The proposed unibody design concepts for light-frame house construction are inspired by innovations that revolutionized the automobile industry in the 1970’s. The basic concept behind unibody design is to engage all the interior and exterior walls of a house in resisting inertial forces and deformations caused by earthquake ground shaking.
