Why is USG so active in seismic research?
USG has a long history of supporting the development and research of seismic ceiling design and application, and we remain committed to this endeavor through product development, participation in industry associations, and supporting the evolution of building codes as new knowledge and product technologies become available. In fact USG is the only manufacturer that continues to perform seismic qualification tests with both the University at Buffalo (SUNY), the Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering Structural Engineering and Earthquake Simulation Laboratory (SEESL) as well as the University of California, Berkeley, Earthquake Engineering Research Center (EERC). We are proud to commit significant resources to this ongoing endeavor.
