Instructional Shake Table System

The CU instructional shake table is an interactive educational outreach and teaching tool. We designed the system to enrich our on-site and off-site outreach activities by offering outreach participants hands-on control of a shake table system. During typical lab tours and demonstrations the concept of Fast-Hybrid testing is often a difficult one for people to understand. In addition to introducing participants to earthquake engineering principles, the instructional shake table provides an easy to grasp concept while showcasing the unique tele-presence and tele-operation capabilities offered by NEES.
