Servo-Hydraulic Shake Table

The medium sized shake table with the platform measuring 1.2x1.8 m is powered by 50 kN-150 mm MTS servo-hydraulic actuator which can generate velocities in the range of 1.5 m/s for simulation of Kobe class earthquake.

Research Areas

It can be used for

• Simulating the real earthquake motions.
• Seismic verification of small prototypes and models of large scale structural systems.
• Shake Table testing is essential for load-deformation behaviour of certain systems which are not amenable to Pseudo-Dynamic type testing.
