Operational Modal Analysis and Structure Health Monitoring

 

Abstract

Modal parameters are able to characterize any structure uniquely. All the structural elements and the respective boundary conditions have a direct impact in all of the modal parameters (natural frequencies, damping ratios and mode shapes), making them suitable to detect damage along the structure. To this end, experimental identification of the modal parameters is necessary and must be conducted periodically. In the last decade, operational modal analysis has been developed to this purpose. It allows the identification of the modal parameter with the structures in operational conditions and using ambient excitation. Several improvements in the field were recently made with the computation of modal parameters uncertainties and with the automation in the identification process. Therefore, vibration-base structural health monitoring system is getting popular for critical civil structures such as bridges, high buildings and old constructions.

Iris Publishers- Open Access Journal of Civil Engineering

Iris Publishers - Open Access Journal of Civil Engineering Structure, Building Envelop and Form integration in Architecture Contemporary Architecture is witnessing a significant transformation, because of developments in technology that is releasing architects from the use of static forms and historical construction methods, to the use of more dynamic forms that integrate elements of structure, building envelop and form in designs. This paper briefly examines developments in architecture over time, in order to situate and discuss the current emerging trend of integration. The article starts from exploring the history of architecture and the form of buildings in the different eras. It then moves on to discuss the contemporary trend in building form, structure and envelope integration, exploring some of the factors that are drive the trend and discussion of implication for the form of future architecture.

Quality Control of Concrete in the Southern Region of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Using Local Materials | Osama K Adwan

Osama K Adwan |  Quality Control of Concrete in the Southern Region of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Using Local Materials Research Article A common concern amongst civil engineers is producing a good quality concrete on-site. This paper reports results of a study carried out to examine the quality of normal strength concrete production in the southern region of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) made from local coarse aggregate namely Basalt. As all data were analyzed and examined statistically using Chebyshev’s theorem and the Statistical Empirical Rule (SER) method presented herein. It is concluded that, the normal distribution of all test results -in terms of the quality of concrete mix- was strongly agree with Chebyshev’s theorem and ACI 318-14 section 5.6.3. In addition, these results were considerably better than the Statistical Empirical Rule (SER) method. Overall, these concrete mixes, in this investigation, with 28 days compressive strength of 35 MPa can be used confidently in concr...
