Original technologies for proven performances for the new LCPC earthquake simulator
Résumé
The European Quaker project has been a powerful opportunity to accelerate the development of the ability to carry out earthquake simulations at reduced scale in the centrifuge in LCPC France. This paper present the checked main performance of the new earthquake simulator delivered in June 2006. Two complementary equipment designed and built at LCPC an equivalent shear beam laminar box and a high frequency data logger working in the macro-gravity environment - are also presented shortly.
