Civil and Seismic Engineering

“By the term architecture is meant the endeavor to harmonize environment with Man, with freedom and great audacity, that is to transform the world of things into a direct projection of the world of the spirit.”

Antonio Sant’Elia

Dynamic seismic simulation

Ingegneria e Sistemi Srl provides solutions for earthquake simulation and structural assessment both in model scale and full-scale.

Typical systems are 6 DOF shaking tables, rigs for testing isolator pads and vibrodyno to create shear stress at variable frequency.

We can provide both hydraulic and electromechanical actuators, mechanical frames and real-time controllers.

PSEUDODYNAMIC SEISMIC SIMULATION

When earthquake simulation is performed in pseudodynamic technique, high-load and low friction actuators are required.

Ingegneria e Sistemi Srl can provide high-fidelity hydrualic cylinders up to 5 MN, fully equipped with servovalves, position transducer, load cell and anti-backlash swivels.

Material Testing

Test benches for material characterization are normally shaped like a 2- / 4- columns rigs, so to apply compression/tension/torsional loads to specimen both in quasi-static and in variable frequency dynamics.

Ingegneria e Sistemi Srl provides the whole test rig, including sensors for the specimen and safety fences.

Special Actuators

Customized actuators can be designed for special applications and kinematics.

Ingegneria e Sistemi Srl provides actuators suitable for stay cables testing and impact simulation.
