New app turns smartphones into worldwide seismic network

 — T-Labs also provided phones that Kong tested on shake tables at UC Berkeley, which realistically simulate the vibrations from large quakes such as the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake south of San Francisco. Once the app has proven reliable, earthquake detection could trigger an alert to cellphone users outside ground zero, …

Model testing using shake tables – current practice

 — The use of shake tables has grown considerably over the last few decades to study both the possible impact of earthquakes on new constructions such as dams, buildings and bridges, and also the possible damage to existing structures. The latter studies are particularly useful to assess the risk to sites of cultural and heritage …

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 ...

Shake-Table Tests on a Nonductile Concrete Frame

We completed shake-table tests on a nonductile concrete frame this past Thursday, February 16, 2006. The structure is a three-bay by three-story plane frame. Half the frame has pre-1976 UBC ordinary details and the other half has ductile details - the odd mix is to slow down the collapse so we can observe the behavior in more detail.

Shaking table: Advanced seismic safety

Although we can't yet predict when and where the next big earthquake will hit, the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center's shaking table has been key in determining how structures might fare during such an event. The 20'x20' reinforced concrete table, located at the Richmond Field Station, has been helping Berkeley engineers advance seismic …
