Part 5/8:
The Tallwood project's preliminary findings investigate the implementation of a groundbreaking rocking wall system traditionally associated with concrete structure. This innovative approach eliminates the need for standard anchoring techniques by allowing the wall to lift and realign itself during seismic activities. Steel post-tensioning rods, which function similarly to rubber bands, keep the walls grounded by pulling them back down after movement, significantly enhancing their damage resistance compared to conventional designs.
