Introduction
• Experiments are especially valuable for learning fundamental concepts
• Shake tables are excellent learning tools for earthquake engineering
Goals
• To provide opportunities for students worldwide to use tele-operated shake tables for learning
• To support faculty interested in utilizing these learning tools with instructional and technical assistance
Additional Opportunities
• Any class, any size, anywhere!
• Experience with modern laboratory equipment and instrumentation
• Exposure to NEES
• A mechanism for training students to perform experiments
• Opportunities for K-12 outreach
Shake Table Lab Station
Technical Support
• Remote experimentation capabilities using existing cyberinfrastructure tools to – Operate the shake table over the internet – View video and streaming data

Instructional Support
• Provide for remote experiments – Lab manuals– Associated learning materials– Scheduling support – Assessment tools
• Experiments available now – SDOF earthquake engineering module (freshman)– SDOF exercise in frequency domain analysis (senior)– MDOF exercise to design a vibration absorber (senior)
• Facilitating – More versatile learning opportunities– Broadened participation
Instructional Support (Demo)
• Exercise: Design of a Vibration Absorber– Two DOF building model– Passive device to reduce responses– Design length of pendulum and additional mass– Verify performance using teleoperation
