Shaking Table Test with Model 10 Story Structure
Second FYP2 group has completed the shaking table test with both soil foundation and model structure.
This research project was conducted by the second FYP2 students during May-August 2013 who succeeded the work of previous FYP2 students of Jan-April 2013. The aim of their study was to examine the dynamic interaction between the soil foundation and the model high rise structure.
The model soil ground was made by compacting residual soil, and the model structure was built by using balsa wood. It was found that there is a certain frequency of shaking that induces a large amplification of shaking. The video shows a strong shaking of both foundation soil and model structure. Altogether eight accelerometers were attached to soil and structure. The analysis of the results is currently being done.
