Cornell Seismic Design

We are excited to announce that we hit our $5,000 goal on our very first day of launch and we are so grateful for everyone's support! These gifts are already allowing us to experiment with new construction methods. We just increased our goal to $10,000 to continue this amazing progress and we hope you continue to share and help our project along this journey!

Our team just received this year's competition guidelines and are super excited to start our design process! Get ready for design updates 😆✏️🏗

Amrita Ramamurthy '19 is a senior who's been on the team all four years, two years of which she was Recruitment & Showcasing Lead. The Cornell Seismic Design team accepts all majors, not just Civil Engineering majors. Read below to hear what Amrita has to say about her experiences on the team.

"My favorite part of being on CSD has been working with people in so many different majors. As an OR major, in my classes myself and my peers like to approach problems in a similar ways. Working with civil, mechanical, computer science, architecture, and biomedical engineering majors has really widened my understanding of how many different ways you can tackle a single problem. "

It’s Cornell’s Giving Day and we need your support!! We have $345 and 23 donors so far with three hours left! We need funding for necessary team expenditures such as building materials and sending our building to competition, so we appreciate every donation we get.

Franny Bard ’22 is one of our new freshmen. The relatively small size of our team allows all members to contribute to all aspects of the work we do. Read below to learn more about Franny’s experience so far.

“I really love being part of this team because it gives me the opportunity to meet and work with passionate and knowledgeable students, which means a lot to me especially as a freshman. The older members are always more than happy to answer any of the questions I have about the design process and programs we use. I learn about designing to withstand seismic waves, which isn't something I would be able to explore in freshmen classes. I also had the opportunity to travel to Vancouver to the international undergraduate competition and learn from other teams' designs as well. Being a member of this team has been by far my favorite part of freshman year.”

Today’s the day! It’s Cornell’s Giving Day and we need your support!!

Dave Pineda ‘21 has been on the team for two years so far, and he looks forward to his next two! Read below to see what he has to say about his experiences on the team.

“Thanks to Cornell Seismic Design, not only have I gained practical knowledge in earthquake design that I would not have gained in a classroom setting, but I’ve forged strong bonds with the other members of the team. Later on, I hope to travel and apply knowledge I will have gained from CSD to projects around the world.”
