Vibration Control

  • SEI engineers rely on their extensive experience in structural dynamics and design to mitigate potential or known vibration problems in buildings

  • New Structures: Design for adequate stiffness, wherever possible, to minimize response to expected or known sources of vibration or incorporate vibration control where necessary

  • Existing Structures: Identify source(s) of problematic vibration and develop vibration mitigation solutions to minimize the response

  • Develop and implement cost-effective vibration control concepts for new and existing structures where required

  • Typical vibration control options:

  • Vibration Absorber: A mass-stiffness system designed to "absorb" vibration from the space

  • Vibration Isolator: An elastic interface designed to prevent vibration generated in one area from affecting adjacent usable spaces
