University of Oklahoma earthquake engineer Scott Harvey is developing a base isolation system to protect valuable and sensitive contents inside buildings. He employed the shake table at the NHERI Lehigh University experimental facility to learn how his isolation system behaves under shaking. In his next experiments, Harvey will deploy the magic of real-time hybrid simulation (RTHS) to numerically simulate buildings with his physical device -- using NHERI Lehigh’s well-known RTHS capabilities.
