Earthquake and Large Structures Laboratory (EQUALS)

Home » Showcase » Earthquake and Large Structures Laboratory (EQUALS)

Our 3x3m shaking table was the first seismic shaking table in the UK. This 6-degree-of-freedom table will carry up to 15 tonnes payload and apply up to 5g of acceleration. In addition to this, the strong walls and strong floor of the laboratory enable large-scale bespoke structural testing setups. This laboratory operates as a combined facility with the UKCRIC Soil-Foundation-Structure Interaction Laboratory (https://itss.org.uk/showcase/ukcric-soil-foundation-structure-interaction-laboratory/)
