FWC actuators ELSA laboratory

ommission (EC) – Directorate JRC and managed by the Unit E.3 “Built Environment”. This research infrastructure (RI) features a Reaction Wall (RW) facility allowing experimental investigation on the structural performances of real-scale structures, with particular attention to their seismic response.

Tests are executed loading the specimens imposing forces or displacements applied using oleodynamic actuators (simply referred to as “actuators” in the following).
