In situ dynamic characteristics of reinforced concrete shear wall buildings

Structural engineers routinely need to make assumptions about the dynamic properties (natural periods, mode shapes, and damping) of a building to simulate its response to dynamic loads, such as strong winds or earthquake ground motions. However, the assumed properties may significantly differ from t...
