TAMARIS: A new seismic facility at CEA-Saclay
Abstract
The first shaking table at CEA-Saclay was commissionned in 1969. At that time the VESUVE shaking table was moved by springs which were compressed by hand and suddenly released. It was guided by rails and casters. Earthquake simulation was therefore very approximative. Since this early period several improvements and extensions have been performed.
