Shake tables. The Center has three biaxial shake tables in operation. Manufactured by MTS, each table measures 14 x 14.6 ft (4.3 x 4.5 m), has a stroke of 12 in ( 300 mm), and can reach a peak velocity of 40 in/sec (1000 mm/sec) and an acceleration of 1g with a 50 ton payload (445 kN). All three tables can be constrained to act together as
VIBRATION & SHAKE TABLES. Single- & multi-degree-of-freedom servohydraulic vibration testing systems. These sysetms typically offer longer stroke and better low-frequency test performance than any electrodynamic shaker system
It was the largest seismic experiment ever conducted on a full-size building, and it was carried out on the world’s biggest earthquake-simulating shake table inside a cavernous hangar at the Japanese National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Prevention’s Earth-Defense facility (“E-Defense” for short) in the city of Miki
Seismic tests on CEA AZALEE shaking table on a row of 6 assemblies for different configurations (in-air and in-water, different seismic input levels …). 2.2 Description of the tested designs The tested FA's correspond to 2 designs representative of 12ft 17x17 fuel assemblies with Zircaloy grids. These designs will
Apr 11, 2016 The aim of this project is to design and develop a seismic shaking table for analysing and evaluating the performance of elastomeric bearings. The methodology employed is to generate analog voltage signals in the same ratio of the original earthquake displacement data through Arduino microcontroller for the pneumatic cylinder to drive the shake
Shaking Table Model Test and Seismic Performance Analysis of a High-Rise RC Shear Wall Structure. Shujin Li,1 Cai Wu,1 and Fan Kong1. 1School of Civil Engineering and Architecture, Wuhan University of Technology, Luoshi Road No
The experiment was done on a 3 m 3 m shaking-table, and three seismic acceleration records were selected as input motion. A utility tunnel model
Figure 2. Configuration of shaking table Test 1.15 The model was subjected to a series of seismic events including sine sweeps and earthquake records. A scaled version (amax = 0.20g) of the motion recorded at Yerba Buena Island during the Loma Prieta earthquake was used as the shaking table command signal for the test analyzed herein
The advantages and disadvantages of structure shaking table test. The use of shaking table to study the seismic performance of the structure has the following advantages [7]: (1) Close to the actual simulation of the movement condition of the ground when the earthquake as well as the effect of earthquake on building structure
Feb 03, 2022 The first part of this talk will outline how shaking table tests were used to develop and validate numerical models for predicting the seismic behaviour of degraded AGR cores. The second part of the talk will focus on the use of shaking tables as a means to seismic qualify equipment to be installed in nuclear facilities
Earthquake shaking table at the National Technical University, Athens, Greece. There are several different experimental techniques that can be used to test the response of structures and soil or rock slopes to verify their seismic performance , one of which is the use of an earthquake shaking table (a shaking table , or simply shake table )
Nov 11, 2021 In this study, the seismic response of a frame-type subway station located in composite soil was explored by shaking table tests. The acceleration response, the strain distribution, and the earth-pressure distribution of the model system under the motion of the Kobe wave and the Chongqing artificial wave were obtained and interpreted
Aug 20, 2021 A shaking table experiment [20] was used to examine a concrete arch dam's cracking during seismic vibrations. Four model arch dams were tested using the time-compressed Mammoth Lakes-04 1980 earthquake at strong amplitudes in two horizontal directions of excitations
Aug 20, 2020 Table 1 lists the characteristics of the shaking table facility, including the maximum allowable load, the maximum allowable acceleration, and the allowable frequency range. The soil container is crucial in shaking table tests since it has a great effect on the dynamic behaviour of the structure-pile-soil system through seismic reflection
Why Scale Matters. Aside from costs associated with specific projects, large-scale shake tables are, not surprisingly, expensive to construct, operate and maintain. The original price tag for the UCSD facility, which was built and has operated since opening predominantly with NEES funding from NSF, was $10 million

The shaker table simulates an earthquake, shaking in three directions (one direction at a time) at varying levels of intensity equivalent to an earthquake in a particular seismic zone — Zone 1 is the least intense; Zone 4 is the most
Aug 07, 2018 The 20’x20’ reinforced concrete table, located at the Richmond Field Station, has been helping Berkeley engineers advance seismic research since it was unveiled in 1972 as the world’s first modern shaking table. Initially, the table shook vertically and horizontally; subsequent upgrades now allow it to move in three translational degrees
