How can we test a structural design for earthquake resiliency?

The video tutorial explains the concept of simulating earthquakes using a shake table. It describes the shake table as a facility where the shaking of the ground can be simulated, allowing control over the intensity and occurrence of the shaking.

What is the main challenge discussed in the introduction regarding events?

• They happen too frequently.

• They don't happen as we want them to.

• They are too predictable.

• They are always under control.

What is the primary purpose of a shake table?

• To create earthquakes.

• To prevent earthquakes.

• To simulate ground shaking.

• To measure earthquake intensity.

How does a shake table help in earthquake studies?

• By measuring the speed of earthquakes.

• By simulating shaking over the ground.

• By predicting future earthquakes.

• By stopping earthquakes from occurring.

What aspect of shaking can be controlled using the shake table?

• The color of the ground.

• The temperature of the environment.

• The duration of the shaking.

• The intensity of the shaking.

What is the significance of controlling how shaking occurs?

• To make earthquakes more frequent.

• To change the direction of earthquakes.

• To ensure safety during real earthquakes.

• To predict the exact time of earthquakes.
