250-kg Uniaxial Shake Table

The QuakeLogic offers the 250-kg Shake Table, which is designed based on advanced engineering principles to simulate seismic activity for testing and research purposes. The structural framework consists of a robust, precision-engineered table platform supported by high-strength steel components. The platform can support up to 250 kg of test specimens.

The top table of the 1-axis system has dimensions of 100×100 cm (length by width) and a capacity of ±1g at 250 kg. It offers a stroke of ± 200 mm (total stroke of 400 mm) and operates using an electro-mechanical mechanism to generate precise and controlled movements. This system is integrated with high-fidelity sensor and actuator that translate electrical signals into physical motion, replicating the complex dynamics of earthquake waves. The control system uses real-time feedback mechanisms to ensure accuracy and repeatability of the simulations, making it an essential tool for structural and seismic testing.

Function:

The primary function of the 250-kg Shake Table is to provide a controlled environment for simulating seismic events. This equipment is designed to replicate ground motion by subjecting test specimens to a wide range of earthquake-induced vibrations in addition to signals such as sine wave, which are essential for comprehensive testing.

The product comes with EASYTEST PC control software, allowing for precise control and monitoring of the shake table’s operations. The EASYTEST is used for setting up test parameters, including the amplitude, frequency, and duration of the simulated earthquakes. This software enhances the usability of the system, making it accessible for both novice and experienced users.

Use Cases:

The QuakeLogic 250-kg Shake Table is used extensively in research, education, and industry for seismic testing and analysis. Its applications include:

  • Structural Engineering Research: Universities and research institutions use the shake table to study the effects of earthquakes on various building materials and structural systems. This research is vital for developing new construction techniques and materials that can withstand seismic events.
  • Civil Engineering Education: The shake table serves as a practical tool for educating civil engineering students about seismic design principles. It provides hands-on experience in understanding how structures behave under earthquake conditions.
  • Seismic Certification and Testing: Manufacturers of construction materials and structural components utilize the shake table to certify their products’ seismic performance. This ensures that the products meet the necessary safety standards and regulatory requirements.
  • Disaster Preparedness and Mitigation: Government agencies and organizations involved in disaster management use the shake table to develop and test mitigation strategies. This helps in improving building codes and enhancing the resilience of infrastructure against earthquakes.
  • Commercial and Industrial Applications: The shake table is employed by engineering firms and construction companies for designing and testing innovative solutions for earthquake-resistant structures. This includes retrofitting existing buildings and designing new structures that comply with modern seismic standards.

Overall, the 250-kg Shake Table is an indispensable tool for advancing the understanding of seismic phenomena and improving the safety and resilience of structures in earthquake-prone regions.

Ensuring Safety with QuakeLogic Shake Tables

Shake tables from QuakeLogic are cutting-edge tools designed to test the structural integrity of buildings, models, and equipment under simulated earthquake conditions. While these instruments are integral in advancing our understanding of seismic safety, proper precautions must be taken to ensure a safe environment for all operators and researchers.

Safety Precautions

1. Protective Gear:

  • Always wear safety glasses and gloves while operating the shake table.
  • This protective gear safeguards against potential hazards such as flying debris, sharp edges, and other unforeseen risks.

2. Keep Hands Clear:

  • Ensure that hands, fingers, and all other body parts remain clear of the shake table during operation.
  • This simple measure can prevent severe injuries due to sudden movements or pinching.

3. Warning Signs:

  • Display clear warning signs around the shake table area.
  • The signs will remind all users of operational hazards and reinforce the importance of following safety practices.

4. Mounting:

  • Securely mount the shake table to stable ground prior to operation.
  • An improperly mounted shake table can lead to unintended movement and pose serious safety risks.
  • Strong Recommendation: We strongly recommend fixing the shake table to the floor before any test begins.

Additional Safety Guidelines

5. Training and Certification:

  • Ensure that all users are trained and certified in operating the shake table.
  • Familiarity with the equipment and emergency procedures is crucial in avoiding accidents.

6. Load Testing:

  • Before testing, carefully inspect the model or equipment to be placed on the shake table.
  • Ensure that the total weight does not exceed the maximum load capacity of the shake table.

7. Emergency Stop:

  • Familiarize all users with the location and use of the emergency stop button.
  • In case of any anomaly or potential hazard, this button will immediately halt the table’s operation.

8. Inspection and Maintenance:

  • Regularly inspect the shake table for signs of wear, damage, or malfunction.
  • Perform routine maintenance to keep the table in optimal working condition.

Conclusion

Safety should always be a priority when working with QuakeLogic shake tables. By adhering to these safety precautions, operators can ensure a safe working environment while gaining valuable insights into the seismic behavior of various structures. Remember, safety glasses and gloves are mandatory, hands should always be kept clear, warning signs must be visible, and mounting the shake table securely to the ground is non-negotiable.

Stay safe, and let’s continue making strides in seismic safety together!
