Abstract

This paper provides an overview on some experimental activities developed by the authors, that represent a research group from European countries which has been cooperating for the last few years on common theoretical and laboratory activities, within the framework of some European or National research projects.

Highlights are presented in the paper focusing on experimental researches including the design, set up and testing of different control devices, executed on shaking table facilities and equipments available at the Universities of Naples, Porto and Lisbon.

Keywords: Shaking table, Experimental testing, Laboratory, Control devices, Dynamic excitation.
