4.0 Structural Testing This section will present an overview of the structural testing requirements. Details for the shake table, weights placed at floor levels, roof weight, and accelerometers will be presented 4.1 Shake Table The unidirectional earthquake shake table to be used for testing has the dimensions and bolt hole pattern as shown in Figure 4-1. Shake table payload capacity is 15.0 kg (33 lb). 4.2 Structural Weights at Floor Levels Details for the threaded bar weights are discussed in Section 2.13. It is strongly recommended that your team purchase a sample weight to ensure proper attachment and fit to your structure at the competition. Additional vertical members (columns) at the location of weights will be needed, as shown in Figures 4-2 and 4-3. The weights must be secured from translation that might occur during shaking. Weights cannot be secured to the beam alone. Weights will be secured to the structure using nuts and washers, as discussed in Section 2.13. Weights will be hand tightened to the structure; this will result in a potential inward deformation of the exterior frame, if the weight location is not braced with beams, as shown in Figure 4-3. 4.3 Accelerometer Placement Two accelerometers will be utilized in the competition. For each structure, one accelerometer will be attached to the shake table (on the bottom), and one accelerometer will be placed at the roof level. Undergraduate Seismic Design Competition 17
