The largest earthquake engineering facility in the UK and one of the larger ones in Europe. The main piece of equipment is the six axis shaking table. We welcome enquiries from industrialists interested in our test facilities. Access if offered through a University-owned company: Bristol Earthquake and Engineering Laboratory Limited ("BEELAB").
DetailsThe purpose of the control systems of hydraulic shaking tables is to reproduce reference signals with low distortion. Accurate control of actuators is vital to the effectiveness of such apparatus. However, the system dynamics of a shaking table and the specimens to be tested on the shaking table are usually very complex and nonlinear.
DetailsThe shaking table test is purposely designed to confirm the ability of the numerical substructure technique to simulate the SSI phenomenon. A model foundation–structure system with strong SSI potential is embedded in a dry bed of sand deposited within a purpose designed shaking-table soil container.
