Dr. Natividad García Troncoso, coordinator of the Master’s Program in Seismic-Resistant Civil Structures, participated as a guest speaker at the CEINCI LAB Lecture Series on March 2, during an event focused on technical and scientific exchange in the field of structural engineering.
During her presentation, she delivered the lecture “Vibration Control in Beam-Type and Cable-Stayed Pedestrian Bridges Using Tuned Mass Dampers,” in which she addressed advanced strategies for optimizing the dynamic performance and structural safety of this type of infrastructure.
Applied research for safer structures
The presentation included research findings and practical applications related to dynamic analysis and the implementation of tuned mass dampers (TMDs), devices that mitigate vibrations induced by pedestrian or environmental loads, thereby improving comfort and structural integrity.
This event fostered dialogue among researchers, professionals, and students, strengthening academic collaboration and the transfer of specialized knowledge in the field of structural control.
Commitment to quality and innovation
Participation in such events reaffirms the institution’s commitment to quality education, applied research, and strategic partnerships with research centers and specialized laboratories.
Sustainable Development Goals
