Performance of Earthquake Simulation Three Bi-Axial Shaking Tables

Abstract

The shaking tables array is the prospective development direction in engineering structural anti-seismic researching field, and which can provide a powerful seismic testing platform. In this paper, the performance of three bi-axial shaking tables array at Fuzhou University was introduced. The trails of bare tables, fully inertial payload shaking tables as well as partly payload shaking tables with elastic structures were conducted. The testing reveals that the shaking tables array system of Fuzhou University has a perfect performance of compliance, coherence and synchronization, which are accepted the required.
