Liquefaction Experiment Apparatus
K50-1208-W0
【Product Description】
Table-top vibration generator to observe how simulated seismic waves cause soil liquefaction phenomenon and damage to an on-board mock building.
【Overall Advantages to Users】
- Generates oscillating motion similar to the horizontal seismic vibration (surface wave) represented as a pseudo-sine wave.
- Designed to observe how a mock tall building shakes along with the amplitude and how soil liquefaction phenomenon occurs during an earthquake.
- Contains accessories suitable for reproducing and observing soil liquefaction phenomena in addition to the “Seismic Waves Reproduction Apparatus, K50-1207-W0”.
【Keywords】
- Seismic phenomena, seismic waves, earthquake
- Long-period vibration and short period vibration of earthquakes
- Liquification of the ground caused by an earthquake

【To all users】
- Table-top seismic activity reproduction apparatus designed to use as a downsized version of earthquake simulators at science museums.
- Designed to learn about phenomena of natural disaster in the classroom by reproducing seismic activity to observe:
- the process of how a tall building (or a house) collapses, and
- the mechanism of and the damage from liquefaction (note: accessories to reproduce liquefaction are included).
【To teachers】
- Designed to reproduce the process of how a building shakes and collapses through teacher’s demonstration using the model building of seven (7) stories that comes with the product.
- Earthquake proof assessment of self-produced mock building and/or its foundation possible.
- Observation of damages caused by soil liquefaction phenomena possible.
【To students】
- Easy to observe, in person, the process of how a building collapses and how liquefaction occurs.
