Parkfield Earthquake Shake Table Exhibit

Shake Table at dusk. Artist D.V. Rogers stomps on a geophone to trigger the shake table. This art installation, known as the Parkfield Interventional EQ Fieldwork (PIEQF), used earthquake waves recorded by the USGS seismic network in California to trigger a hydraulic shake table which was installed in an excavated trench. The shake table was activated in near real-time as …

Shake Table Tests: Gravity Load Collapse of Concrete Frames

In March 2001, shake table tests were conducted on half-scale reinforced concrete frame specimens with three columns (fig. 1). The tests were conducted at the PEER Center, UC Berkeley Earthquake Simulation Lab by Kenneth Elwood, Ph. D. graduate student, and Jack Moehle, PEER Director. The center column, with ties at large spacing and 90° hooks ...
