<title>ABSTRACT</title>
<p>The scale of vibration is expressed by such measures as the acceleration and seismic
intensity. However, it is not realistic for those who have no experiential sense for the
scale of vibration. The intuitive feel of vibration helps to foster motivation to learn
such the subjects as the earthquake disaster prevention, vibration and earthquake
resistance in the department of civil engineering and the architecture. This paper
introduces the portable shaking experiment device which is developed as a teaching
material to support the intuitive understanding of the scale of vibration such as
acceleration and seismic intensity as well as Fourier spectrum. The data of vibration
recorded by the accelerometers installed at the shaking table and structure model are
processed immediately and the wave form, maximum acceleration, seismic intensity
and Fourier spectra are shown in real time. The effectiveness of the proposed
experiment device is discussed by the questionnaire survey.</p>
