A method for testing the vibration-resisting strength of building models
includes six steps. Step 1: Students to participate in model making are
divided into teams. Step 2: Each team begins to make a building model
according to the regulations. Step 3: The building model is weighed with
a scale and then assembled on an earthquake-simulating vibration table to
be tested. Step 4: The team explains the design concept of the building
model before the building model is tested. Step 5: The building model
begins to be tested. Step 6: Register the acceleration scores of the
building model after testing. Making and testing of building models can
elevate students' interest in learning the vibration resistance
principles of buildings and stir up students' creativity and thinking
ability in methods of vibration resistance and reinforcement of
buildings.
