This study is a preliminary investigation into a method for updating analytical models using actual vibration measurement data to improve the reliability of the seismic performance evaluations. The research was conducted on 26 models with various parameters, aiming to develop an optimal analytical model that closely matches the natural frequencies of the actual building. By identifying the dynamic characteristics of the target building through vibration measurements taken just before the demolition of the structure, the natural frequency analysis results of the analytical models were compared to the measured data. Based on this comparison, an optimized method for adjusting the parameters of the analytical models was derived. Throughout the analysis, various parameters were adjusted, and the eigenvalue analysis results were corrected by comparing them with vibration measurements. Among the comparative analytical models, the model with the lowest error rate was selected. The results showed that, in all cases, the analytical model with a concrete compressive strength of 16 MPa (based on actual measurements), pin boundary conditions, and an idealized strip footing cross-section had the closest match to the actual building's natural frequencies, with an average error of less than 8%.

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.
