The development of shaking tables–A historical note

Abstract: The earliest known shaking table, driven by hand-power, was constructed in Japan at the end of the 19th century. At the beginning of the 20th century developments had moved to the Stanford University in the U.S. with the introduction of an electric motor to produce a more refined oscillatory motion in one direction, the response of the testpiece being recorded mechanically by pens on a rotating drum. Major earthquakes in the 1920s prompted renewed interest at Stanford resulting in a uni-directional table movin… Show more

“…Analysis of earthquake-induced landslides usually requires information about shearing resistance at the sliding plane of a slope. Shaking table test is widely recognized as a more suitable method to obtain the realistic sliding thresholds of these landslides than the simpler and more convenient tilt test (Hsieh et al 2011;Severn 2011). Lin and Wang (2006) and Huang et al (2011a, b) conducted a series of large scale shaking table tests to investigate the dynamic behaviors of soil slopes under seismic loading.…”

“…The electro-hydraulic earthquake simulation shaking table is the most important piece of equipment for replicating actual earthquake vibration environments, and can be used for the earthquake resistance test in the field of civil and architectural engineering [1]. For the large-span structures, such as bridges, dams, railways and pipelines, etc., the shaking tables system composed of more than one shaking tables is proposed to carry out the vibration test simultaneously [2].…”
