UCSD Shaketable

Posted August 14, 2025

Shaking things up at UCSD! Raymond’s San Diego team, alongside Clark Construction and other trades, recently supported the University of California San Diego’s groundbreaking research on mid-rise cold-formed steel structures — studying their seismic and fire performance to help improve building codes.

Raymond stick-built the facility’s first floor, then installed wall and floor panels (produced by a Standard/Nevell joint venture) along with finish work for floors two through 10.

The UC San Diego Shake Table is the only outdoor facility of its kind in the world — and the only simulator capable of testing a 10-story building.

See it in action in NBC 7’s coverage:
