First stage (air-lifting) of Shaking Table completed

 On Oct. 3rd, the set-up of base steel frame and top aluminium plate onto the concrete base has been completed. Care was taken to make sure a good horizontal level of steel frame & aluminium plate, and by installing 100 tubes at the back of the aluminium plate the Shaking Table successfully floated above the plate when we introduced pressurized air to tube. The picture below show the Shaking Table sitting on the plate.

 Next task is to connect the driving mega-torque motor to the side of concrete base so that the Shaking Table can be given a horizontal thrust to simulate the earthquake.
