A series of shake table tests were performed at the world’s largest shake table over a period of three weeks starting January 31, 2019 on two 3 story wood residential buildings of various mounting conditions (including on soil box, base isolation system and fixed) as well as retrofit schemes. Photos and videos from a few of the tests and damage assessments are shown in this page.
