7. Structural Control
• It is a technology to reduce excessive vibration in structures caused by
dynamic loadings such as wind and earthquakes.
• Although it was developed first in aerospace engineering, this
technology has fastly spread to Civil Engineering
8. Structural Control
• Structural control provide changes on stiffness and damping
properties of the system, installing external devices or applying
external forces, aiming to reduce original structure vibrations.
• It can be classified as passive, active, semi-active and hybrid.
13. Dynamic testing platform
• Situated at the Structure Laboratory there is a testing platform with a
very low fundamental frequency and presenting excessive vibrations.
