Abstract(s)
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.
