Tests carried out on civil structures, such as walls, slabs, beams, among others

• General mechanical tests (compression, bending, fatigue, etc);

Vibration dampening systems or metal vibration isolation

They are systems responsible for changing the natural frequency of the structure or for damping the vibrations. They may, together with a metal structure, contain a viscous fluid for increased damping. Main tests carried out:

• Mechanical characterization tests
• Quasi-static tests of vertical stiffness
• Fatigue tests
• Resistance tests
• Obtaining damping

Instrumentation

Instrumentation to verify the behavior and structural safety by means of accelerometers, extensometers, displacement transducers, piezometer, inclinometer, among others, in:

• Stands of stadiums, arenas, gyms, sambodromes;
• Road and rail bridges and viaducts;
• Dams;
• Buildings;

In addition to the instrumentation, LAEDE counts on the team of engineers of IEME Brazil for treatment and analysis of the data for conclusive reports on the situation of the structure.
