Tara Hutchinson and Ben Schafer, principal investigators for the NHERI CFS10 project, introduce us to cold-formed steel and their long-term research interest in this resilient material.

Beyond building code with cold-formed steel

We all have experienced natural hazards in our lives: earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, tsunami, floods: they impact our society at the most fundamental levels. Through rigorous testing and outreach programs, the team at the Natural Hazards Engineering Research Infrastructure is committed to making sure the next natural hazard doesn't have to be a disaster for you and your family.
