Support construction having increased structural dampening

A load-bearing construction comprising at least one load-bearing element, characterized in that the load-bearing element has at least one cavity and at least one rod communicating with the cavity, the cavity being filled with a damping material, such that, when the load-bearing element is deformed, the rod is displaceable along its length relative to the load-bearing element, the rod being non-displaceably fixed at least at one point relative to the load-bearing element, the rod being designed such that it dissipates energy when a relative displacement occurs relative to the load-bearing element, wherein the damping material includes a gas alone, said gas comprising air or nitrogen, or said gas in combination with at least one component selected from the group consisting of a) a liquid, b) a liquid with embedded components made of a solid material, and c) a granular material, in which the liquid of elements a) and b) remains in liquid form during displacement of the rod along its length.

• characterized in that the cavity has a plurality of bends that are spaced from each other along a longitudinal direction of said load bearing element.

A load-bearing construction comprising at least one load-bearing element and at least one rod, wherein when the load-bearing element is deformed the rod is displaceable along its length relative to the load-bearing element, the rod being non-displaceably fixed at least at one point relative to the load-bearing element, the rod being designed such that it dissipates energy when a relative displacement occurs relative to the load-bearing element, characterized in that the rod is disposed outside the load-bearing element in a hollow section, in that the hollow section is disposed next to the load-bearing element and is firmly connected thereto at at least three points, in that the cross-sectional area of the rod is smaller than the inner cross-sectional area of the hollow section and in that the remaining volume in the hollow section is filled with a damping material that is selected from the group consisting of a) a liquid, b) a liquid with embedded components made of a solid material, c) a granular material, d) a gas and e) combinations thereof, in which the liquid of elements a) and b) remains in liquid form during displacement of the rod along its length.
