Structural Dynamics
Settlement of buildings Dynamic vibrations can affect the structure and usually their inhabitants and content. Vibrations can be uncomfortable for the people and can be harmful for sensible equipment. DSE computes vibration amplitudes in structures due to dynamic loads. Besides, DSE proposes and designs solutions against vibrations in structures. Depending on the vibration load and on the structure to be protected different vibration solutions can be proposed such as energy dissipation systems and structural control systems like base isolation.

Design and consulting services in structural dynamics offered from our office include:
  • Seismic evaluation of existing structures
  • Seismic rehabilitation of structures
  • Dynamic analysis of structures
  • Seismic and non-seismic analysis of soil-structure interaction
  • Evaluation and recommendation to vibrations in structures due to seismic and non-seismic loads
