Shake table limitations and its design criteria were identified after a series of tests with varying conditions. The E-defense shake table is capable of carrying a total payload of 1200 tons with 20 × 15 m plan dimensions. It can simulate 3D input ground motions with peak velocity up to 2.0 m/s and ± 1.0 m strokes in horizontal directions.

The seismic capacity of high-rise steel buildings is a matter of concern, particularly when they are subjected to long-period ground motions. A series of large-scale shaking table tests conducted at E-Defense disclosed fractures in beam-to-column connection s and represented the effects of retrofit for such high-rise steel buildings.
National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Resilience(NIED)has been constructing 3-D Full-Scale Earthquake Testing Facility, nicknamed "E-Defense" in the city of Miki, to the north of Kobe.Construction of this facility began in 1999 and will be completed in 2005. Therefore, this facility will begin to make its contribution ten years after the Hyogoken Nanbu …
