AN ANALYSIS OF DYNAMIC CHARACTERISTICS OF A CURVED BRIDGE BY AMBIENT VIBRATION MEASUREMENTS

Dynamic characteristics of the new curved cable-stayed bridge in Porto Marghera (Venice, Italy) from ambient vibration measurements

The paper summarizes the results of recent ambient vibration tests and operational modal analyses carried out on the new curved cable-stayed bridge erected in the Commercial Harbour of Porto Marghera (Venice, Italy). The ambient vibration tests were carried out as a part of the reception tests of the bridge before its opening and included the recordings of the system response in selected points...

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...

An Investigation Into the Vehicle-Curved Bridge Dynamic Interaction

Evaluation of Dynamic Characteristics of Marun Embankment Dam Using Ambient Vibration Test and FEM

There is a worldwide interest in the proper design of embankment dams to resist earthquake loadings. For the first time in Iran, a complete ambient vibration survey due to low-level loads such as wind, machinery activities, low level tectonic activities, and water exit from bottom outlet was performed on Marun embankment dam. These kinds of ambient vibration tests are suitable for manifesting t...
