Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Engineers use a ____ to test the response of structures to verify their seismic performance.
A
conductor
B
spectrograph
C
shake table
D
centrifuge
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -There are several different experimental techniques that can be used to test the response of structures and soil or rock slopes to verify their seismic performance, one of which is the use of an earthquake shaking table (a shaking table, or simply shake table).

Detailed explanation-2: -The shaking table test is realistic and clear when the response of a structure during an earthquake is discussed. A specimen is set up on the table which can be driven by actuators as shown in Fig. 1. Test specimens are usually manufactured for the shaking table test; therefore a destructive test can be performed.

Detailed explanation-3: -What’s a Shake Table. A shake table simulates the ground motions that take place during an earthquake. They’re used to test structural models, scaled slopes, or building components, typically to the point of failure.

Detailed explanation-4: -Scientists use this dataset to determine how earthquakes effect an area and whether seismic data can be used to predict future earthquakes. Engineers use this dataset to study how shaking effects structures and how structures can be built to withstand damage.

Detailed explanation-5: -noun. : a table used for concentrating ores compare wilfley table.
