Maximum resilience with minimal resources. Build a durable high-rise model for seismic zones and put it through a 9-intensity earthquake test. Prove your engineering excellence on the Shake Table!
Maximum resilience with minimal resources: test your engineering capability under seismic loading
This project is designed to connect young engineers theoretical knowledge with practical implementation. The core philosophy is "maximum resilience with minimal resources." The goal is to make engineering one of the most attractive domains for Uzbek youth. Student-built structures are tested under destructive loads (crash-test conditions).
Develop specialists capable of applying theoretical knowledge in real practice
Evaluate structural resilience under destructive loading conditions
Increase youth engagement and motivation in construction engineering
9-intensity earthquake simulation test
University stage and national final
Real-time construction and testing of the structure
Technical requirements for the high-rise model
The model building must be at least 90 cm tall
Width and length of the plywood base (Base Plate)
9-intensity vibration simulation via Shake Table
Wooden sticks sized 2000x10x10 mm
The structure is mounted on the Shake Table (vibration platform). The platform simulates 9-intensity seismic vibrations. The longer and more stable the structure remains, the higher the score.
One structure cost estimate per team
Primary construction material for the structural skeleton. All sticks are of identical dimensions
Special wood glue for strong interconnection of sticks
Rigid support plate for mounting the building model. Fixed to the Shake Table
The competition is held in two stages
The first stage is organized at higher education institutions. A commission of relevant specialists oversees and evaluates testing of submitted structures under destructive loads.
Held annually in April by the organizing working group. The commission supervises real-time testing of structures created by teams under destructive loads.
For winners of the national stage
Join the seismic resilience competition and prove your engineering excellence on the Shake Table test. Showcase your talent at the "FUTURE ENGINEERS" festival!
