Abstract

The programme of dynamic investigations, described partially in this paper, was originated in 1958 during work carried out by the author at the Federal Technical University in Zurich. These investigations are mainly aimed at the determination of the effect of the degree of prestressing on the frequency and logarithmic decrement of free vibration damping in concrete beams.

Résumé

Le programme d'études dynamiques, partiellement décrit dans cet article, a débuté en 1958 quand l'auteur faisait un stage à l'Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Zürich. Ces études avaient pour but de déterminer l'effet du degré de précontrainte sur la fréquence et la decrément logarithmique de l'amortissement de la vibration libre dans les poutres de béton.
