Descrição

Some information is provided on the latest R&D within COVICOCEPAD project approved in the framework of Eurocores program. It addresses the use of TMD’s TLD’s, base isolation devices, MR dampers and a hybrid technique using both devices together. Some results are provided associated with calibration of a MR damper at FEUP, as well as its inclusion in a small scale laboratory set-up with proper equations of motion of the controlled smart structure. Applications of TMD’s devices to two civil engineering structures under dynamic and seismic actions are also outlined.
