Here is one path to some information on shake tables:
Go to:
http://jjlahr.com/science/earth_science/

Then click on:
Build an earthquake-simulating shake table and test your building-design
skills.

Followed by:
Larry Braile, a Purdue University seismologist, has developed a fun
classroom contest
which leads to a description of making building from a limited set of paper
and cardboard
pieces and scotch tape.

Another starting point for educational information is:
http://www.iris.washington.edu/EandO/resources.htm

Click on:
Seismology-related Lessons activities, demos, experiments for teachers.

Followed by:
Prof. Larry Braile's page
Links to Earth Science education activities and selected Earth Science
education sites

  Followed by:
Earth Science Education Demonstrations, Lessons and Activities

Cheers,
