This type of problem is common in engineering practice, especially in civil engineering. There are many reasons why structures with identical elements or certain symmetries are used in industry, related to economic considerations, shortening the design time, for constructive, simplicity, cost or logistical reasons. There are many reasons why the presence of symmetries has benefits for designers, builders, and beneficiaries. In the end, the result of these benefits materializes through short execution times and reduced costs. The paper studies the eigenvalue and eigenmode properties of vibration for components of the constructions\u2019 structure, often encountered in current practice. The identification of such properties allows the simplification and easing of the effort necessary for the dynamic analysis of such a structure.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/sym13040656","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,12]],"date-time":"2021-04-12T21:47:33Z","timestamp":1618264053000},"page":"656","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Vibration Properties of a Concrete Structure with Symmetries Used in Civil Engineering"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8679-2579","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sorin","family":"Vlase","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering, Transilvania University of Brasov, B-dul Eroilor 20, 500036 Brasov, Romania"},{"name":"Romanian Academy of Technical Sciences, B-dul Dacia 26, 030167 Bucharest, Romania"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1552-3763","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marin","family":"Marin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, Transilvania University of Brasov, B-dul Eroilor 29, 500036 Brasov, Romania"}]},{"given":"Ovidiu","family":"Deaconu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Civil Engineering, Transilvania University of Brasov, 500036 Brasov, Romania"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Meirovitch, L.
