Earthquake Engineering Research Institute
Higher Technological Institute · 10th of Ramadan City
Founded in May 2023 as the CornerStone team in the Civil Engineering department, we became the EERI HTI Student Chapter in October 2024, officially representing the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute at HTI and competing in the Seismic Design Competition.
The academic mentors who supervise our designs, review our analysis and push us to compete at the highest level.
Every season we raised the bar — from a campus bridge contest to the world stage.
A 19-story mixed-use tower inspired by Kobe’s Torii gate: commercial, cultural, office and hotel zones linked by a walkable spine, with a Kumiko-inspired double-skin façade. Balsa wood, designed to ASCE/SEI 7-22 Design Earthquake and MCER levels.
A 160 cm, 19-floor balsa tower engineered for one-directional shaking: less material in the quiet axis, X-bracing, a belt system and vertical outriggers placed at the floors that carry the dead weights.
Competition days, workshops and late nights in the workshop.
Live TV coverage of Elevate & Shake 2024, where we presented the Pearl Tower.
