Abstract (EN): This paper describes the work involving an implementation of a Tuned Mass Damper in a very flexible footbridge located at FEUP campus. The ultimate objective of this project is to implement a semi-active system integrated in the functioning of that device. Meanwhile, the TMD was installed in the structure and worked passively for one year. The analysis of the behaviour of the device during that period is essential to understand the dynamics of the structure under pedestrian loads and how such system can contribute to reducing vibrations. The laboratory tests performed with the TMD are described in this document, as well as the results obtained by analysing data collected by a dynamic monitoring system installed locally.
