Shake table tests on pipe systems anchored in a full-scale, seven-story building performed on the Large High-Performance Outdoor Shake Table at NEES @ UCSD investigated seismic design methods for anchors fastening nonstructural components.

The shake tables were purchased with Federal Emergency Management Agency funds, but the $ 1.5 million expansion to accommodate the second table was provided by a combination of state, university and private funds.

Earthquake shaking tables are used extensively in seismic research, as they provide the means to excite structures in such a way that they are subjected to conditions representative of true earthquake ground motions.

During the development of complex systems, engineers often test with rigorous, outwardly bizarre scenarios, such as intentionally crashing expensive automobiles, dropping functioning electronics onto hard surfaces, or vibrating scale models of buildings on shake tables.

Researchers at the University of California in San Diego built a simple, two-story house _ typical of 90 percent of homes in Southern California _ and placed it on a hydraulic shake table that simulates earthquakes.

The Triaxial Earthquake and Shock Simulator ( TESS ), an experimental 3-dimensional " shake table, " is used to test the ability of systems and facilities to survive under realistic conditions of weapons-induced shock and vibration, and earthquake ground motion.

This concentrate is sized at 90 micron using a Derrick screen and dewatered using cyclones followed by two further steps of cleaning / recleaning ( also on Holmans Wilfley shaking tables ) to produce the final coarse and fine gravity concentrate.

Influenced by the monumental and permanent land art earthworks of the early 1970s, the installation was a conceptual feedback loop between the seismic activity of California and the mechanical reflection of these frequent seismic events which controlled the earthquake shake table.
