Description

Determination of dynamic properties of structures is the first step in assessing seismic response, and they can be measured in several ways. Controlling or knowing the input excitation usually applied by impact hammer or vibration shaker, typical for experimental modal analysis (EMA) that has been around for the past few decades, is for majority of structures difficult or practically impossible. Ambient vibration testing (AVT) or operational modal analysis (OMA), on the other hand, is the output-only modal analysis. It does not require knowledge of the input excitation, which is practically induced by wind, traffic or similar random source. In this paper, an investigation of ambient vibrations and numerical modeling of the building of the Institute of Materials and Constructions (IMK) of the Faculty of Civil Engineering in Sarajevo was carried out. The main goal is to determine the dynamic characteristics of the IMK building using the DIGITEX SENTRY system and Artemis modal software. In addition to testing the IMK building, testing of simpler systems such as a wooden simple beam and a steel cantilever was also conducted. For each experiment, a modal analysis was performed in the Tower 8 software package. The numerical model was more flexible, and the results were only comparable after including partition walls in the analysis.
