Two-Story Structural Model Used in the LEAP Educational Game (IMAGE)
Caption
(A) Schematic drawing showing the two-story structural model with a vertical geometric irregularity incorporated as an engineering challenge, with all dimensions indicated in millimeters (footprint: 150×300 mm; story height: 200 mm each). (B) Photograph of the physical model constructed by student participants using low-cost materials — drinking straws, cardboard floor slabs, and adhesive tape — reinforced and tested under simulated seismic excitation on a manually operated shake table.
