The present work describes part of the R&D on using
a semi-active structural control technique in a civ
il
engineering experimental model frame equipped with
a MR damper, developed within COVICOCEPAD
project approved in the framework of Eurocores prog
ram S3T. Some results are provided associated with
the calibration of a magneto-rheological (MR) damper
at FEUP (Faculdade de Engenharia da
Universidade do Porto) as well as on the experiment
al modal identification of the dynamic properties o
f a
small-scale metallic frame, with and without the in
clusion of a specific MR device. Some numerical
results of the controlled frame under simulated ear
thquakes are given, to be later compared with the
experimental results of such frame installed in a Q
uanser shaking table.
