Domestic Software Developed for Updating of Finite Element Models and Experimental Modal Analysis of Structures

Reinforced concrete structures used in many areas of our daily life constitute an important part the building stock construction sector. There are buildings such as reinforced buildings, bridges, tunnels, mosques and dams, new line with need continues. Many uncertainty factors play a role design phase these from dimensioning result analysis performed under required loadings to implementation field. unpredictable errors analysis, defects materials workmanship affect success rate project structure. For this purpose, Experimental Modal Analysis method, which is widely literature, determine structures, dynamic characteristics damage conditions existing structural health monitoring. Natural frequencies, variables structure obtained by experimental modal techniques, mode shapes damping ratios corresponding frequencies examination current state properties structures. However, data can be foreign-source software allocating large budgets. The results native finite element model update developed within scope doctoral thesis compared literature. As application, raw signal Gülburnu Bridge scaled Type-1 Arch Dam constructed laboratory environment were used. found closely related each other.
