Application of Story-wise Shear Building Identification Method to Actual Ambient Vibration

A sophisticated and smart story stiffness System Identification (SI) method for a shear building model is applied to a full-scale building frame subjected to micro-tremors. The advantageous and novel feature is that not only the modal parameters, such as natural frequencies and damping ratios, but...
