Output-only subspace identification of structural properties and unknown ground excitation for shear-beam buildings

A novel output-only subspace identification method is proposed to estimate the structural parameters of a shear-beam building under unknown ground excitation. The unique feature of the method is that both the structural parameters and the ground acceleration can be identified using only the absolute...
