Earthquake Japan is confronted with the problem of earthquakes. Contemporary structures are becoming more cpmplex, and more required of these structures in terms of their functions, so the role of shaking table test is increasingly important in assuring the aseismatic performance of structures. The high-fidelity shaking table, which can simulate any type of movement, will contribute to increasing the reliability and safety of aseismatic procedures.

Main Features of the System

• It can carry out experiments with large scale speciments.
• The system operates with six degrees of freedomand thus can produce any combination of movements simultaneously.
• The system has a wide frequency range.
• Data processing system, which permits high speed precision data analysis.
• The system incorporates a floating foundation, which prevents the propagation of vibration to the surrounding environment.
