Iran builds domestic shaking table

Iranian researchers at Amirkabir University of Technology (AUT) have developed a domestic shaking table that can stimulate earthquakes for constructing more resistant and efficient buildings.

 

 
Located on seismic fault lines, Iran is prone to earthquakes and experiences at least one slight tremor every day on average.
 
Farzad Hatami, developer of the domestic ‘shaking table’ at AUT told Mehr News that the device is used before the actual construction of a building so that the designs can be tightly monitored and controlled for a highly resistant building to earthquakes.
