After absorbing the brunt of seismic shaking‚ however‚ the compromised structures often must be demolished. “The building‚ in a sense‚ sacrifices itself to save the occupants‚” says Gregory Deierlein‚ a Stanford University civil and environmental engineer. A team Deierlein led with Jerry Hajjar‚ a Northeastern University engineer‚ hopes to change that‚ designing a system that protects both people and the structures they live and work in. Last fall‚ the engineers successfully
