powerful testing facility, which consists of a largescale dynamic and pseudodynamic apparatus. This
report describes in detail the design of both these devices. In the first part, the design of the high
performanceuniaxialshakingtableispresented.Themaincomponentsofthefacilityareintroducedanda
description of the structural and mechanical configuration of the shaking table is given. The design of the
system restraining the table motion then follows, together with a detailed discussion of the solutions
adoptedforboththereactionmassandisolationsystem.Finally,thenumericalverificationscarriedoutto
