Welcome to our Facmaster Factory!
The goal of the project is to develop, build, and test a modular steel structure that can be tested on an educational shaking table to demonstrate structural dynamic and earthquake engineering principles. The advantage of the structure is that it can be tested into its non-linear range and yielded parts can easily be replaced for subsequent tests. The steel modular structure represents a multi-story …
