Problem Statement
In This first Project, the goal is to build or implement a manual "Shaker table" that was already conceived by a previous team. A Shaker Table is an oscillating platform that can be used to test structures by simulating earthquakes.

Project Plan
To implement this project, our team crafted the following plan for the first week. -Discuss and acknowledge the Shaker Table -Purchase the material needed to build the shaker table. -Start to assemble the table and do some preliminary testing on the table

=Week 1 Narrative= My first week was to get acquainted to the Manual "Shaker Table" and along with team members, assign the duties of respective members. I reviewed the documentation by watching the video on the design of the shaker table. I helped assemble the main frame of the shaker by cutting and joining the different PVC pipes to the required measurement.The assembly was pretty basic and based on a design of a previous team. Three issues arose after the main frame was assembled: the main frame was slightly warped and I suggested to  gently heat up the 4 elbows and lay the frame on a flat surface with a heavy weight on it.We couldn't find some knex in the CL159 to build a real structure to test on the table. I also suggested to use some velcro to help secure the structure to be tested on the platform. My team will ask the teacher what we could use as a knex replacement on the platform since we could not get any knex.
