Abstract
The shaking table is a good reproduction of the structure response test method in the laboratory. This paper explores the shaking or vibration table from the aspects of construction, control technology, test method and application. The construction time of a typical shaking table in China and around the world is given, and the indicators such as table size and performance parameters are hereto summarised. This paper expounds the significance of the construction of the shaking table, analyses its development and the advantages and disadvantages of its control technology, and discusses its existing mainstream test methods and application process. The application of the shaking table technology in related research fields is introduced in detail. This provides a reference for the further selection, upgrade, development and utilisation of seismic research simulation of shaking table.
