What is Shake-table?
'''Shake-table''' in [[earthquake engineering]] is a very effective experimental equipment to verify [[seismic performance]] associated with the direct damage to individual buildings or their [[building model|models]] under specified [[earthquake|ground shaking]]. The best way to do it is to put a [[building|structure]] on a shake-table that [[Earthquake performance simulation|simulates]] the earth shaking and to watch what may happen next (if you have no time to stand out in the field and wait for a real earthquake to strike). The earliest shake-table experiments were performed more than a century ago <ref name=SeismicExperiments>{{cite book|title= Seismic Experiments on the Fracturing and Overturning of Columns|author=Omori, F.|date=1900|publisher=Publ.
