Ambient vibration tests of a cross-laminated timber building

A Study of Dynamic Characteristics of a Multistory Building Using Ambient Vibration Tests (TECHNICAL NOTE)

Dynamic characteristics of a typical multistory building in Iran have been studied in two different stages of building construction, using ambient vibration tests. Finite element models have also been used to determine these characteristics and to verify test results. The results indicated the agreements and also differences between conventional theoretical models and the behaviour of real stru...

Ambient Vibration Testing for Story Stiffness Estimation of a Heritage Timber Building

This paper investigates dynamic characteristics of a historic wooden structure by ambient vibration testing, presenting a novel estimation methodology of story stiffness for the purpose of vibration-based structural health monitoring. As for the ambient vibration testing, measured structural responses are analyzed by two output-only system identification methods (i.e., frequency domain decompos...

Ambient Vibration Tests of Structures − a Review

A literature review on the subject of ambient vibration testing is presented, and a review of a recent study to illustrate state-of-the-art in the application of the ambient vibration method. Reports on testing of full-scale structures by the ambient vibration method began to appear regularly around 1970, with about 3/4 of all contributions devoted to the experiments in buildings, dams, chimney...

Structural Tests of Concrete Composite - Cross - Laminated Timber Floors Final Report

Experimental tests of a composite concrete-cross-laminated timber (CLT) floor system were conducted. The floor system was constructed with 5-ply CLT panels (6.75 in. thick) made composite with a 2.25 in. thick reinforced concrete topping slab. Four series of tests were performed using different specimen configurations and laboratory testing methods. Tests included: (1) Comparative one-way bendi...
