The proposed solution will develop a shake table that mimics the destructive seismic waves created by an earthquake. Structural members are moved side to side which cause a great deal of shear stresses and internal moments, if the motion lasts too long then the stiffness of certain members can fail (Brown, 2007). Our teams approach is to do extended research on the various types of seismic waves and determine which ones cause damage to manmade structures. This approach will discuss the variety of seismic waves, the necessary hardware required to create the proposed seismic wave(s) and the software necessary to recreate a scalable earthquake shake table. The data from several types of earthquakes will be compiled in order to effectively design a motion that will replicate their damage.
