Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement for stabilizing supporting structures for equipment, plants, buildings and other construction works. It serves simultaneously for bracing corresponding structures and stabilizing them against vibrations, in particular those that are caused by earthquakes. For this purpose, supporting elements that are adjacent to one another will be braced together by means of tension elements, such as tension cables, tension rods or beam ties, wherein, according to the invention, at least one uniaxially acting additional element, which is formed as a parallel connection between at least one spring and at least one viscous or viscoelastic damper, is disposed in between the tension elements.
