Objective
Description:
ISMES is a Business Unit of Enel.Hydro S.p.A. operating in the fields of land and environmental management and in services for safety of constructions. Experiments are carried out in the Structural Dynamic Testing Laboratory. The installation is equipped with several shaking tables, the largest of which has a 4x4 m2 extension, 6 degrees of freedom for the multiaxes reproduction of earthquakes, shocks sinusoidal and random vibrations. General equipment for structural testing (Single axis shaking tables, hydraulic actuators and testing machines) are also available and may be used simultaneously.
A set of digital systems controls the tables, the acquisition of structural responses and the processing of data. The Laboratory operates both in civil and electromechanical fields, with activities cantered on the study of structural behaviour under static and dynamic loads in all phases of development, from design and construction, to the verification and qualification needed to certify a structure. The shaking tables with the auxiliary equipment as well as the personnel necessary for operating the facilities are at disposal of the Applicants under the Human Potential Programme to carry out experimentation of scientific interest proposed by the Applicants. Technical support by the facility staff is offered. Logistic infrastructures (place office and internal services) are available. The Users are accommodated in comfortable two-roomed independent flats or with equivalent accommodation in hotel. One car is at disposal of each User group. Lunch in the working days is offered at ISMES canteen. A grant for subsistence is guaranteed for all permanence days. Travel expenses are reimbursed.
Application:
The Facility publishes the opportunity of application to the Human Potential Programme through the publication of Call for Proposals on the Journal of Earthquake Engineering and Structural Dynamics every 6 months. The applicants have to contact the Contract Project Manager for negotiating the feasibility and send him a 3 pages technical proposal, and their CV. The proposal is submitted to external reviewers and then to a Selection Panel Meeting every 6 months, for the approval. The approved proposal is sent to the European Commission for the ratification.
