The 20' x 20' table is one of the largest in the world to be able to move in three directions (translation and rotation) so, according to Mosalam, it's an extremely important piece of equipment at UC Berkeley and has contributed to important research that will result in people being safer when the next 'big one' hits.

Funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Converging Design project includes full-scale testing of a six-story mass timber building at the Natural Hazards Engineering Research Institute (NHERI) Large-High Performance Outdoor Shake Table. The project re-uses the bottom six stories of a 10-story mass timber building previously tested as part of the NSF …

PEER celebrated the 50th Anniversary of the UC Berkeley shaking table on June 24, 2022, at the Earthquake Simulator Laboratory facility at Richmond Field Station. Over 80 researchers, practitioners, former and current students attended the event to commemorate the impact of the table on the field of earthquake engineering.

Two large-scale shake table test series, one without any mitigation measures and one using helical piles, were conducted using the shake table facility at the University of California, San Diego. During each test series, the soil and superstructure models were extensively instrumented and subjected to two consistently applied shaking sequences.
