What is it about?
The shake table testing showed the capabilities of the frame to sustain larger earthquakes. The frictional device was steel on steel, and required careful attention to how much the bolts were tightened to make sure the friction occurred when desired.

Why is it important?
The results are important to the current state of practice of designing taller wood buildings, where possible alternatives to the CLT rocking shear walls will offer more opportunities in the primary and secondary lateral restraining systems.
