Considering the risk caused by the frequently occurrence of strong earthquakes, and the development of earthquake simulation shaking table and related technologies, the construction of shaking table device has entered into a boom period in China in order to improve the experimental conditions for carrying out in-depth study on the damage mechanism of buildings in the earthquake. Firstly, the present development state and trends of shaking table are introduced. And then based on the shaking table array system located at Central South University that has passed the acceptance recently, the performance indexes, design ideas, and evaluation method of the overall array system are clearly described. Furthermore, key testing contents of the system are pointed out, the performance acceptance and usage essentials of shaking table array system are also given.
