Shake Table Test in Civil Engineering (Chatham Week 8)

Throughout the week, our civil engineers have been busy building structures such as buildings and bridges using materials like paper and cardboard to test how much weight they can hold and how strong they are. Today, campers created buildings using paper prisms they made with notecards and tested whether or not their design could withstand the force of an earthquake by using a shake table. The shake table tried with all its might to take the building down, but it stood tall and strong, all thanks to the campers’ structurally sound design!
