Now that it is possible to establish test facilities in a laboratory to simulate the time history of an earthquake seismic tests are conducted by creating the ground movements in the test object. Other methods, such as by analysis or by combined analysis and testing, are also available. Refer to IEEE 344 and lEC 60980 for more details. For this purpose a shake table, able to simulate the required seismic conditions (RRS) is developed on which the test object is mounted and its performance observed under the required shock conditions. Since it is not easy to create such conditions in a laboratory, there are only a few of these facilities available. The better equipped laboratories are in Japan, the USA, the UK, Greece, Germany, India and China. In India the Earthquake Engineering Department (EQD) of the University of Roorkee (UoR) is equipped with these facilities.
