  1. Advancing Earthquake Engineering Education through a Cooperative Effort Using Instructional Shake Tables Shirley J. DykeScott Johnson, Juan Caicedo, Tyler Ranf, Manuel Soto-Fournier Washington University in St. Louis ICANCEER 2002 Harbin, China

  2. Acknowledgments • Support for UCIST from NSF Grant (DUE 9950340) • Mid-America Earthquake Center (Project ED-9) plus travel support for ICANCEER 2002 • Washington University in St. Louis • Quanser Consulting

  3. Outline • Background • Objectives of UCIST • Equipment Selection • Outcomes to Date • Example Outreach Activities • Research Implementation • Closing

  4. Background • History • Proposed at 1998 Trilateral Earthquake Center Education meeting in St. Louis • MAE Project ED-9: Instruc. Shake Tables • NSF – DUE/CCLI Funding Obtained (DUE Grant No. 9950340 – Aug 1999) • Consortium became operational in summer 2000

CalPoly Southern Illinois Univ. - Edwardsville Univ. of Nevada – Las Vegas UCLA UC-Irvine UC San Diego Florida A& M Currently over 50 Universities are members ! Background University of Alaska – Fairbanks University of Hawaii

  6. Objectives of UCIST • To provide engineering students • an understanding of structural dynamics • experience with modern laboratory equipment and instrumentation • exposure to innovative structural control techniques • To provide non-engineering students • Awareness of potential consequences of earthquakes

  7. Objectives of UCIST • Approach • Purchase instructional shake tables • Develop wide variety of experiments • Share experiments through web page • Integrate experiments throughout undergraduate and graduate curricula • Enhance outreach activities • Encourage undergraduate research

  8. Equipment Selection Shake Table Power Supply Building • Shake Table • 2 Story building • 3 accelerometers • Power Unit & Computer • Data acquisition • Pendant controller • AMD (Optional) Function Generator Safety Feature

  9. Equipment Selection

  10. Equipment Selection

  11. Outcomes to Date • Experiments (Examples) • Introduction to Dynamics of Structures • K-12 Outreach Activities in Earthquake Engineering (Notre Dame) • Earthquake-Resistant Bridge Competition for Introductory Engineering Students

  12. Outcomes to Date

  13. Outcomes to Date • Experiments (Examples) • Introduction to Dynamics of Structures • K-12 Outreach Activities in Earthquake Engineering (Notre Dame) • Earthquake-Resistant Bridge Competition for Introductory Engineering Students

  14. Outcomes to Date • Other Representative Experiments • Demonstration of Non-Structural Seismic Hazards in the Home • Dynamic Behavior of Simple Soil-Structure Systems • Liquefaction Demonstration for the UCIST Shake Table • Small Shake Table Experiments and Comparison to Analytical Predictions

  15. Outcomes to Date Interactive Tutorial on Pendant Operation (by Keenan Bull, REU 2000)
