Abstract

The shaking table is an important test equipment for studying the seismic resistance of structures. Its vibration form has developed from single-axis single-degree-of-freedom to three-direction six-degree-of-freedom, and the control algorithm has undergone a development process from traditional control to intelligent algorithm control. Investigation and research were conducted on domestically built vibration tables; important indicators such as table size, frequency range, and maximum acceleration of typical domestic vibration tables were summarized; the merits and shortcomings of each control algorithm were compared and analyzed; the construction form and loading method of the vibration table substructure test and the construction and control technical difficulties of the vibration table array system are summarized; the application situation of the shaking table system is classified and discussed; and the structure types scaled down that have been completed in the domestic shaking table test are summarized. It can provide reference for the construction and development of a shaking table in the future.
