Recently, measuring instruments for SHM of structures had being developed. In general, the wireless transmission of sensor signals, compared to its wired counterpart, is preferable due to its absence of triboelectric noise and elimination of the requirement for cumbersome cable. However, the research on the tall buildings with relatively small vibration levels is insufficient. Therefore, in this paper, we used the wireless MEMS sensor and iPad to compare and analyze the vibration measurements of three tall buildings and two towers.

The identification of damping ratios in buildings is a well-known problem and appears to be of important and crucial interest in the safety and serviceability design. When compared to an estimation of the stiffness, i.e. natural frequency, and mass, the damping ratio is the most difficult quantity to determine. Many previous studies have examined the characteristics of damping ratios from ambient vibration, but the measurement time is roughly within 2 hours. In this paper, characteristics of damping ratios and natural frequencies of 4 story RC building were investigated using long-term ambient vibration. Free vibrations were obtained using random decrement technique, and damping ratios were evaluated by the envelop function, continuous wavelet transform, and logarithmic decrement. It was found that although the natural frequencies show little variations with time, the damping ratios show some variations with time and the largest variations found in the damping ratios obtained from the continuous wavelet transform. The damping ratios from the envelop function showed the smallest mean and standard deviation. And the probability distribution of damping ratios seems to follow the logarithmic normal distribution.

The cases of conducting the vibration measurement using the mobile phone with regard to the building's horizontal vibration are very rare in Korea and foreign countries. Therefore, this study analyzed the horizontal vibration nature of the building using the mobile phone targeting 5 tall buildings, and reviewed about the applicability of the mobile phone vibration measuring instrument through the comparison/verification with the data of the existing vibration measuring instrument. The peak of the measured time series waveform was measured clearly and it showed a similar value to the existing natural frequency.

구조물의 특성치를 결정하기 위하여 18층 규모의 사무용 건물 3동에 대하여 자연진동 조건하에서 동적계측실험을 수행하였다. 대상건물은 기본적으로 보-기둥 골조시스템에 횡하중을 보다 효율적으로 지지하기 위하여 추가적으로 코아가 배치된 혼합 구조형식을 나타낸다. 매층 마다 측정한 일련의 진동기록으로부터 고유진동수, 모드형태 및 감쇠율 등과 같은 모달계수를 추출하기 위하여 최신주파수- 및 시간영역-기반 응답의존 시스템판별법인 FDD, pLSCF 및 SSI를 적용하였다. 3방법에 의하여 추출한 결과는 대체로 일치하였으나, 초기 FE 해석결과와 비교하여 저차 3개 고유진동수는 대략 1.2~1.7배나 되는 단단한 거동을 나타냈다. 진동응답으로부터 추출된값, 기준에서 제시하는 약산식 및 FE해석에 의하여 산정된 고유주기를 비교하여 보면, FE결과가 가장 유연한 거동을 예측하였으며, 높이를 변수로 하는 약산식이 추출된 값에 가장 근접한 결과를 나타냈다. 이러한 차이는 현재의 실험 추출치에는 콘크리트 균열 등과 같은강성저감 요인을 포함하고 있지 않으며, 또한 FE 해석치는 비구조체 및 사용된 재료의 실제성능 등과 관련된 강성증가 요소를 포함하고있지 않기 때문이다.

This paper is concerned with the natural periods of ambient vibration and eigenvalue analysis. Ambient vibration tests were conducted to four bearing-wall reinforced concrete buildings ranging from twelve to nineteen stories. The performance of modeling in eigenvalue analysis was investigated using consideration of rigidity out of the plane in the slab and the non-structural bearing wall. Measured natural period was also compared with the value by the KBC2005. Natural period of the short direction in eigenvalue analysis is well fitted with the measured one. In the other hand, Natural period of the long direction in eigenvalue analysis is slightly more overestimated than the measured one. Natural period of the long direction in eigenvalue analysis was found to be enhanced by considering the effect of the stiffness out of the plane of the slab and non-structural wall in the structural modeling.

High speed railway bridges should be strictly maintained due to its social importance. However, There are many problems to execute loading test for precision safety diagnosis. A numerical experiment with a numerical model which is updated for reflecting characteristics of an existing bridge can be useful for high speed railway bridge maintenance. Moreover, more efficient maintenance can be possible if only ambient vibration is needed for numerical model updating process. In this study, a numerical model updating process is introduced in which only ambient vibration is enough to execute the process. Also, the usability of updated numerical model is verified by comparing measured and analyzed acceleration.

In this paper, it proceed the fascinating experimental study to use the system identification(SI) for a long time measurement. The aim of the study is to identify the dynamic characteristics using the SI based on ambient vibration(AV) tests for monitoring systems at building structures. White noise, which is naturally occurring for harmonic components, and free vibration tests are employed in obtaining output data. A definite answer of the dynamic characteristics manages to extract from the frequency domain decomposition(FDD) method under the condition of the white noise. The singular value of the following test is used by FDD. These results show the validity of AV test and the usability of FDD in comparison with two tests. The result of the study is to design practical criteria for SI for building structures based on AV tests.

Structural damping includes material damping, friction effects at bearing and expansion joints, friction at bolted joints and mechanical damping by damper. There is not analytical basis for estimating the damping ratios. Structural damping ratios can be estimated by measuring forced vibration amplitude of a certain mode but it is almost impossible to vibrate the actual bridges to a certain mode by force. Therefore, RD technique utilizing a lot of ambient vibration data can be a practical method to estimate damping ratio. In this study, the damping ratio is estimated by analyzing the ambient vibration data of three steel cable stayed bridges.
