Shaking of Frontier Building in Anchorage, Alaska during the M7.0 November 30, 2018, Anchorage, Alaska Earthquake
The building was instrumented by U.S. Geological Survey to obtain data to study its behavior and performance during strong shaking. Such data are useful in making decisions about improving the performance of this and similar buildings. See the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXhU5oeIgs0&feature=youtu.be
