The area of ​Science and Technology of Construction has made EUROLAB, a reference lab for the planning and execution of special tests in structural and seismic matter.

Eurolab is provided with equipment enabling:

• performing tests for the qualification and acceptance of anti-seismic devices (elastomeric isolators, pendulum insulators heatsinks);
• developing the experimentation necessary for the patent of new prototypes.

Strategical planning previewed mechanical testing facility for fatigue and static test of Cable Systems, such us a valid instrument to verify quality of materials used for extreme engineering applications ( supporting cables in the cable-stayed and suspension bridges of great light cables to stabilize the floating offshore platforms ; and metal cables for air transport in the mining industry ).

Eurolab is a candidate, therefore, to assist the design of new structures by experimental tests, and to identify the dynamic behavior of prototypes, representative of existing structures, in order to interpret the phenomena of damage and choose the most appropriate method of adjustment, a crucial for mitigation of seismic risk and the preservation of buildings and historical monuments.

Eurolab, in view of potential cooperation with European and International research centers, is a valuable partner in the drafting of regulatory codes for new designs.
