  The zig-zag rebar loops and steel cage efficiently contain the concrete and prevent debris from scattering during excessive stress.

Depending on the local seismic construction regulations, civil engineers should determine the structural design, wall positioning, thickness of walls/slabs/floors as well as the quantity and size of rebar to be added.

Earthquake resistant building made with COFFOR shear walls

Efficient confinement
         
         
Professor Victor Davidovici, a leading global specialist in earthquake resistant constructions, head of the COFFO R scientific team said:

"The very nature of COFFOR makes it appropriate to build shear walls and the shear core of a building designed to resist horizontal loads generated by earthquakes. COFFOR is a technology that makes it possible to build shear walls without heavy equipment. The quality of construction is assured by the fact that workers can easily and quickly follow the basic COFFOR implementation rules without any possible mistake."
