It can accurately reproduce the seismic wave in the laboratory to accurately study the structural response. Based on the summary of domestic shaking table and array system control algorithms, the applications of various control algorithms and their advantages and disadvantages are summarized. The development trend of the shaking table control algorithm is analyzed and explained. It can be used as a reference for research on control technology of shaking tables at home and abroad. http://pubs.sciepub.com/ajcea/8/3/5/ajcea-8-3-5.pdf seismic research shaking table control algorithm development trend
