Our Competition

Cornell Seismic Design attends the EERI Seismic Design Competition with about 40 other undergraduate, international teams. The competition is comprised of four components including an oral presentation, a comprehensive display poster, as well as the tower's technical construction and seismic performance. Each concentration contributes towards their respective sections of the final deliverables, and the whole team works together in the physical construction of the building. These are the past rankings in each category of the competition, and our final rankings.
