Shake table testing is being increasingly used in earthquake engineering research centres worldwide, as it is the only available means of nearly truly reproducing the dynamic effects that earthquakes impose on structures. Finally the report gives future scope of the project is to manufacture the model with the dimensions. Conclusion:

The way the tray shakes mimics the side to side shaking seen in earthquakes. Instructions Practice shaking your shake table. Shake it quickly but gently enough and with the right-sized motions so that the tray does not hit the sides of the box. Use the wax paper to carefully place your building on top of the cornstarch mixture. Look closely.

A manual, no electricity version of this exhibit is also available. The Manual Shake Table exhibit allows guests to use construction sets to create structures on the black shake platform that can be moved in horizontal directions to simulate the motion of an earthquake. Guests choose from two construction sets.

Shake Table To create your own very simple earthquake table that is more like a trampoline than a standard, motor controlled earthquake table: Cut a piece of board or plywood into a 12" square. If you wish, create a raised edge for your platform by nailing lengths of 1/2" square dowel on top of each of the sides.

EARTHQUAKE SHAKE PROJECT STEP 2A - RESEARCH THE NEED OR PROBLEM THEORY Before we can design an earthquake-resistant structure, we need to understand the science behind earthquakes, how earthquakes cause destruction, how engineers build structures to withstand earthquakes, and what types of designs you should consider when planning your ...
