Tuned Mass Dampers

Wide span structures (bridges, spectator stands, large stairs, stadium roofs) as well as slender tall structures (chimneys, high rises) tend to be easily excited to high vibration amplitudes in one of their basic mode shapes, for example by wind or marching and jumping people. Low natural frequencies are typical for this type of structures, due to their dimensions, as is their low damping. With GERB Tuned Mass Dampers (TMD), these vibrations can be reduced very effectively.

The TMD may consist of:
- Spring
- Oscillating Mass
- Viscodamper®

As main components, or may be designed as a pendulum, also in combination with a Viscodamper®.
