UCIST
Washington University GOALS: To provide students at Washington University with:
• an understanding of structural dynamics• exposure to innovative structural control techniques• experience with modern laboratory equipment and instrumentation
APPROACH:
• purchase instructional shake table lab stations• integrate earthquake engineering experiments into undergraduate and graduate curriculum• provide opportunities for undergraduate research
Equipment
Curriculum Development
• CE 146: Introduction to Civil Engineering: basic concepts in structural vibrations
• CE 336: Mechanics of Materials Laboratory familiarize students with instrumentation develop an understanding of natural frequencies, mode shapes, and damping ratios
• CE 550: Structural Dynamics compare mathematical model and experimentally obtained responses
• CE 590: Experimental Methods in Structural Dynamics new course with experimental modal analysis, system identification, and structural control
Undergraduate Research
Development of control circuit for shake table
Development of demonstration of seismic effects ofbuilding contents
Video: Active Mass Driver Control System
Outreach
University Consortium on Instructional Shake Tables
GOALS: To provide:
• students with an an understanding of structural dynamics• non-engineering students with exposure to the potential consequences of earthquakes• other universities with effective laboratory exercises
APPROACH:
• purchase instructional shake table lab stations• integrate earthquake engineering experiments into undergraduate and graduate curricula
Organization and Planning
UCIST originally consisted of 23 Universities affiliated with the three national earthquake centers (PEER, MCEER and MAE)
An additional 16 universities have joined includinginstitutions from Japan and Italy
Each university will contribute one experiment or videoto the project for distribution through web site
Each university will incorporate at least three experiments into their curriculum
Equipment Selection and Purchase
A task force of faculty from member universitieswas formed to formulate specifications and selectequipment.
Accessories: • 2 story building• 3 accelerometers• Computer• Real-time control/data acquisition board• Function generator
Equipment Selection and Purchase (cont)

Undergraduate and school children competitions
CD-ROM of experiments and videos (web page)
Undergraduate research projects
Outreach projects
Examples of experiments to be developed
• Basic Concepts in Structural Dynamics
• K-12 Outreach Activities in Earthquake Engineering
• Demonstration of Lateral/Torsional Coupling in Buildings
• Seismic Response of Building Frames
• Demonstration of Non-Structural Seismic Hazards in the Home
• Dynamic Behavior of Simple Soil-Structure Systems
• Web-Controlled Shake Table
• Demonstration Experiment of Sloshing Fluid Damper and
Tuned Mass Damper

Evaluation
Evaluation is planned through the web siteincluding the following tools:
• each faculty/student involved will complete
annual on-line surveys
• web page statistics will provide external impact
measures (domains, countries)
