The ISMGEO seismic geotechnical centrifuge (ISGC) is a medium size beam centrifuge, made up of a symmetrical rotating arm with a diameter of 6 m. The centrifuge has the potential of reaching an ac-celeration of 600g at a payload of 4 kN. In 2010 it was equipped with a 1-degree of freedom shaking table. The table works under an acceleration field up to 100g, it can provide excitations at frequencies up to 1000 Hz and acceleration up to 50g and it is able to reproduce real earthquakes at the model scale. The main features of the table and example of applications in two research projects are described in this paper.

Abstract
The ISMGEO seismic geotechnical centrifuge (ISGC) is a medium size beam centrifuge, made up of a symmetrical rotating arm with a diameter of 6 m. The centrifuge has the potential of reaching an ac-celeration of 600g at a payload of 4 kN. In 2010 it was equipped with a 1-degree of freedom shaking table. The table works under an acceleration field up to 100g, it can provide excitations at frequencies up to 1000 Hz and acceleration up to 50g and it is able to reproduce real earthquakes at the model scale. The main features of the table and example of applications in two research projects are described in this paper.File in questo prodotto:
