The Structural and Stochsatic Dynamics research group owns some portable equipment for in-situ vibration analysis of civil engineering structures.

We are equiped with accelerometer and ultrasonic anemometers to perform tests such as modal identification of footbridges and bridges, analysis of insitu meteorological wind conditions and online monitoring of wind conditions, temperature and vibrations.

The data we measure is post-processed with in-house implemented techniques tailored to the needs ot the purpose.

Past reference activities are the world-record design and testing the 1.2km-long death ride for the Grimp'Day competition (fire brigade), various footbridges in Belgium, as well as the monitoring the vibrations resulting from nearby mine activity on the measurement systems of the Royal Meteorological Observatory.
 

We collaborate with these labs to build the most of our research projects. Although not owned by the Structural and Stochastic Research unit it is possible to develop experimental programs in these labs while the background research program is taken by our research unit.

Impact or blast testing would typically take place in the structural mechanics lab, which is equipped with all sorts of optical measurement and testing facilities.

Wind engineering test, even of civil engineering structures and projects, take place in the wind-tunnel.

Human-Structure interaction are investigated in the LAMH, which is partly managed by V. Denoël.
