COFFOR builds shear walls and shear core that provide earthquake resistant structures. With the looping effect of the rebar connecting the grids, the structures built in with COFFOR are of a superior quality than those of other traditional systems.

Shear wall design is the best method to provide optimum safety against natural disasters such as earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, typhoons, etc.

Connections between walls and floors are efficient with continuity rebar. Concrete can be poured simultaneously in the wall and upper floor to improve the monolithic concrete structure.

COFFOR acts as ductile frames, distorting progressively and retaining resistance capacity prior to failure. Rupture will not occur in a brittle manner.
