Abstract(s)

In this paper it is described a hardware experimental setup applied to study the response of structures due to an earthquake excitation. The described hardware experimental setup was applied in the performance and effectiveness evaluation of passive and semi-active vibration control strategies, in order to reduce the structural response due to an earthquake excitation. This study is also meant to validate the accurateness of the developed numerical models that simulate the experimental results. The hardware implementation is described, being the structural response real data and its numerical models compared.
