AB  - This study presents design, implementation and performance testing of a predictive control system
for a shake table used in earthquake simulation. The system is located in the Civil Engineering Laboratory at
Andes University. The table allows to keep track on an earthquake profile expressed in horizontal displacement.
However, for each case, the loads vary in terms of mass and flexibility of the structure to be tested. Therefore,
it is required a strict control of these variations. Dynamic model approximate to the shake table expressed in
function of transference from a strategy of identification using MATLAB® was obtained to create the design.
Simulations were carried out at different seismic input and the responds of different preventing controllers
designed were analyzed. Finally, the results obtained of predictive controllers operating the table under three
different loads conditions are presented.
