VIT Ingenieria

VIT Ingenieria is a structural engineering firm specialized in structural dynamics. Their principals have over 50 years of combined experience - professional and academic - in the field, which allows us offer a number of services. We invite you to learn more about our expertise below: - Vibrations and System Identification VIT Ingenieria counts with a wide range of sensors we use to carry out field measurements and evaluate the propagation of waves on the field and their effects on buildings and people alike, comparing against comfort and damage thresholds. Moreover, we use the structural response under vibrations to identify its properties and calibrate static and dynamic models, which are then used for structural analysis and evaluation. - Seismic risk and design earthquakes At VIT Ingenieria we perform seismic hazard and seismic risk analysis, defining design spectrums with both deterministic and probabilistic approaches given the location and the possible epicenters. We also evaluate the liquefaction potential of the soil under seismic events. What is more, we also offer the selection of time-histories for non-linear analysis and evaluation of structures. - Structural Dynamics VIT Ingenieria also offers services in the design and verification of equipment foundations and bridges, considering dynamic loads and aeroelastic effects (e.g.: in suspension bridges). - Codes and structural reliability VIT Ingenieria helps clients with discussions regarding code provisions and their correct application in a given project. We also perform reliability studies for special and unique structures, which are not fully covered by design codes and guides.
