Abstract: Experimental investigation plays an important role in studying the behavior of the structures during an earthquake. Usually, earthquakes are stimulated in laboratories using shake tables. Models of structures are mounted on shake tables and the response is measured using sensors. In this project, shake table is developed with the required machinery for actuators, controllers to impart different frequencies of vibration, methodology to mount the models as lumped mass systems, sensors to measure the response, software and data acquisition system for recording the data for future analysis and Interpretation.
