TITLE PAGE:
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this activity is to see how tall we can build a structure that will survive a simulated "Full Rip" on the CSZ
METHODS & MATERIALS:
Provide a bulleted list building materials
SAMPLE CALCULATIONS:
None
DATA
A preliminary sketch (freehand) of your shake table - pencil and paper only (min 1/2 page, 1 full page preferred)
Include an engineering "as designed" diagram of your shake table. Everything to scale, avoid any freehand drawing whenever possible. Pencil and paper acceptable, digital/online tools recomended. (min 1/2 page, 1 full page preferred)
Include a final "as-built" engineering diagram of your shake table-- all parts to scale and using straight edges. NO FREE HAND drawing whatsoever. Pencil and paper acceptable, digital/online tools recomended. (min 1/2 page, 1 full page preferred) Include a final "as-built" engineering diagram of your building-- all parts to scale and using straight edges. NO FREE HAND drawing whatsoever. Pencil and paper acceptable, digital/online tools recomended.(min 1/2 page, 1 full page preferred) Include a graph from your accelerometer showing that your ground motion was within appropriate values for that event in Gig Harbor for the entire 4 minutes of the exercise.

Submit a video to Schoology that shows your structure performing (be sure to also show your graph in real time on your laptop/chromie). You can have one video per group, with a partner, or you can create your own video.
DISCUSSION:
Claim: Rewrite the purpose of the lab to clearly and concisely show your concluding statement
Evidence: Refer specifically to your graph and video. Describe how your structure survived (or) or how your structure failed.
Reasoning: Now describe *why* your structure survived or why your structure failed. Be sure to talk like Newton and apply any other physics principles you've learned this year.
Error Analysis: None
Day #1:
Choose materials and make preliminary sketch of your shake table as shown below:
Work on preliminary sketch of your building.
Determine how to attach your building to your shake table.
Day #2:
I need to sign off on at least one person's Engineering Diagram before you begin working on your shake table -- that needs to be done within the first 15 minutes of class.
Begin working on your shake table -- that should be substantially complete by the end of class
If time permits begin designing your building/structure:
