AMBIENT VIBRATION TESTS OF TSUJUN BRIDGE

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...

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...

Application of Wireless Monitoring System for the Ambient Vibration Study of the WuYuan Steel Arch Bridge

In this paper, the academic wireless monitoring system with smart sensing units developed at Stanford University and Michigan University is applied for the ambient vibration study of a steel arch bridge in Xiamen, China. Ambient acceleration responses of the bridge measured by the wireless sensing units are compared with those collected by a traditional wire-based data acquisition system. Clock...

Ambient Vibration Study of the Gi-Lu Cable-Stay Bridge: Application of Wireless Sensing Units

An extensive program of full-scale ambient vibration testing has been conducted to measure the dynamic response of a 240 meter cable-stayed bridge–Gi-Lu Bridge in Nan-Tou County, Taiwan. A MEMS-based wireless sensor system and a traditional microcomputer-based system were used to collect and analyze ambient vibration data. A total of four bridge modal frequencies and associated mode shapes were...
