This research project is a pioneer in Murcia and the second worldwide
The Degree of Civil Engineering UCAM and the Polytechnic University of Seville along with a hundred students from Colegio Santa Joaquina de Vedruna of Murcia, have started this morning studying the vibrational behavior of the gateway Jorge Manrique de Murcia city.
This test, and sampling density through damping art accelerometers work to see how it behaves with the structure is a high density of people through the same.
A total of one hundred students of the educational institution collaborated in this study.
The Dean of the degree in Civil Engineering from the UCAM, Pedro de los Santos, said that "through this research project, carried out between the Catholic, the city of Murcia and the Polytechnic University of Sevilla, intended checked if after 15 years of use, the gateway Jorge Manrique responds to the use for which it was initially planned. "
To do so, has it detailed the Dean, "after the measurements made in this first phase with accelerometers, leading technology in this type of research, a second phase with application of mathematical formulas address to get results to report on whether should consider not new damping systems on the catwalk. "
The first test density measuring damping held in Spain was in the Millennium Bridge in Seville.
