Özet: Today, many analytical methods developed to predict the behavior of structures under dynamic effects and software based on these methods have been developed and presented to the service of engineers. However, it is not possible for these softwares to predict some possible damages in the structures with absolute accuracy. At this point, shaking tables can sometimes be used to reveal the dynamic behavior of the scaled models of the structures. However, these devices often have high costs. Within the scope of this study, a 2-axis (X and Y) shaking table has been developed. The device, which has a table size of 70x70 cm, has a ± 25 cm stroke length and is designed to be able to apply both cyclic and predefined earthquake movements. Unlike common biaxial systems; Thanks to the developed joint system, equal distribution of the loads on both axes is ensured. The parts of the system that require real-time management are written in C, and the computer interface software is written in C#. The drive system is provided by servo motors for stable operation of the system under high weights. As a result of the experiments carried out after the production, it has been observed that the error margin of the system remains below 1 percent.
