Why shaking table tests?
– Only experimental technique for direct simulation of inertia forces
–
Can simulate different type of motion definition
– Recorded earthquake Motions
– Synthetic motions (comaptible PSD or RS)
– Simple motions (sine sweeps)
– Motion intensity can be increased to caused inelastic behaviour and failure
– Simulation of realistic seismic environment
– Major limitations
–
Payload capacity and size of platform
– Small scale models require artificial mass simulation
– Scaling effects inelastic behaviour significantly
