With increasing number construction of high-rise building which has about 40 to 60 floors there have been many kinds of problem which related with usage from vibration. To predict response acceleration, it is important to assess correct natural frequency. However, due to the noise of MEMS sensor, it is difficult to measure dynamic characteristic such as natural frequency when measuring ambient vibration using MEMS sensor within cell phone. Therefore, a comparative analysis on vibration measuring applications was performed after measuring ambient vibration of 2 skyscrappers which have height between 133.5~244.3m that are located in Seoul and Observation tower using I-jishin APP with noise reduction function of MEMS sensor in order to verify the effectiveness of low noise type vibration measurement APP.

This paper is concerned with the natural periods of ambient vibration and eigenvalue analysis. Ambient vibration tests were conducted to four bearing-wall reinforced concrete buildings ranging from twelve to nineteen stories. The performance of modeling in eigenvalue analysis was investigated using consideration of rigidity out of the plane in the slab and the non-structural bearing wall. Measured natural period was also compared with the value by the KBC2005. Natural period of the short direction in eigenvalue analysis is well fitted with the measured one. In the other hand, Natural period of the long direction in eigenvalue analysis is slightly more overestimated than the measured one. Natural period of the long direction in eigenvalue analysis was found to be enhanced by considering the effect of the stiffness out of the plane of the slab and non-structural wall in the structural modeling.

고층건물의 사용성설계는 가속도와 같은 풍응답진동에 의하여 자주 영향을 받으므로, 이때 고유진동수의 올바른 산정은 중요하다. 설계단계에서 사용되고 있는 이러한 진동수 경험식들은 상호간에 서로 다른 결과치를 제시하는 경향이 있다. 이 논문은 철골조 건물의 진동주기에 대한 것으로서, 건물의 진동실험방법과 상시진동실험에서 얻은 고유주기를 예측하기 위한 방법을 제시하였다. 서울지역 21개동의 상시진동 계측데이터에서 고유주기를 산정하였다. 철골조 고층건물의 고유주기 근사식을 제안하였으며, 고유주기의 근사식을 국내외 기준 및 고유치해석의 결과와 비교하였다.

This paper is concerned with the dynamic characteristics of buildings, especially with the measurement of the natural frequencies(natural periods) and the damping. Process of ambient vibration and synchronized human excitation tests for natural period and damping are given. Data from measurement on 16 reinforced concrete buildings in Seoul and Seoul national university of technology are given. 16 Low-rise Reinforced concrete buildings are measured for ambient vibration to obtain the vibrations characteristics. The natural periods obtained by ambient vibration measurements are compared with those of forecast model suggested by standards and foreign researchers. The natural periods show a clear dependence on building height. On the other hand, the damping ration scatter under the influence of various factors, for example, building height and natural frequency.

Modal identification of civil engineering structures based on ambient vibration measurement has been widely investigated in the past decades, and a variety of output-only operational modal identification methods have been proposed. However, vibration modes, even fundamental low-order modes, are not always identifiable for large-scale structures under ambient vibration excitation. The identifiability of vibration modes, deficiency in modal identification, and criteria to evaluate robustness of the identified modes when applying output-only modal identification techniques to ambient vibration responses were scarcely studied. In this study, the mode identifiability of the cable-stayed Ting Kau Bridge using ambient vibration measurements and the influence of the excitation intensity on the deficiency and robustness in modal identification are investigated with long-term monitoring data of acceleration responses acquired from the bridge under different excitation conditions. It is observed that a few low-order modes, including the second global mode, are not identifiable by common output-only modal identification algorithms under normal ambient excitations due to traffic and monsoon. The deficient modes can be activated and identified only when the excitation intensity attains a certain level (e.g., during strong typhoons). The reason why a few low-order modes fail to be reliably identified under weak ambient vibration excitations and the relation between the mode identifiability and the excitation intensity are addressed through comparing the frequency-domain responses under normal ambient vibration excitations and under typhoon excitations and analyzing the wind speeds corresponding to different response data samples used in modal identification. The threshold value of wind speed (generalized excitation intensity) that makes the deficient modes identifiable is determined.

The cases of conducting the vibration measurement using the mobile phone with regard to the building's horizontal vibration are very rare in Korea and foreign countries. Therefore, this study analyzed the horizontal vibration nature of the building using the mobile phone targeting 5 tall buildings, and reviewed about the applicability of the mobile phone vibration measuring instrument through the comparison/verification with the data of the existing vibration measuring instrument. The peak of the measured time series waveform was measured clearly and it showed a similar value to the existing natural frequency.

최근 계측 기술의 발달에 따라 종래의 복잡하고 시간 소모적인 현장 계측분석 작업을 단순하고 편리하게 만드는 작업이 가능해지고 있다. 이런 배경에서 이 논문에서는 최소화된 계측 및 신호처리를 통해 상시진동 케이블의 장력을 추정하는 문제에 대해 연구하였다. 최소화 계측 방법으로는 저가 영상장비로 촬영된 동영상만을 이용하는 영상 변위 계측을 구상하였다. 또한 이로 인한 유효 주파수 대역 부족 문제의 해결을 위해 미러 주파수를 이용한 고유진동수 추정 방법을 제시하였다. 더불어 현장 사용 성능과 관련한 상시진동 문제를 처리하기 위해 신호처리 및 고유진동수 추정법으로 FDD 방법이 채택되었다. 제안된 최소화 계측 시스템과 미러 주파수 개념의 특성 및 FDD 방법의 적용성을 보기 위하여 사장교 모형을 이용한 실험적 연구가 수행되었다. 실험 결과는 상시진동을 위한 FDD 방법이 최소화 시스템을 이용한 고유 진동수 판별에서도 효과적으로 잘 작동됨을 보여 주었다. 또한 미러 주파수 개념은 저속촬영에 따라 왜곡된 신호에서도 고주파수 영역에 있는 고유진동수 추정이 가능함을 보여 최소화 시스템의 한계돌파에 효과적임을 보여 주었다. 결론적으로 실험결과는 제안된 최소화 계측 및 신호처리 시스템이 상시진동 케이블 장력 추정에 효과적인 방법이 될 수 있음을 보여주었다.

In this study, dynamic characteristics such as natural frequencies, mode shapes and damping ratios of RC frame is determined for different construction stages using Operational Modal Analyses method under ambient vibration. Full scaled, one bay and one story RC frames are selected as an application for different construction stages such as plane, brick in-filled and brick in-filled with plaster. The RC frame is vibrated by natural excitations with small impact effects and the response signals are measured using sensitive accelerometers during ambient vibration tests. Measurement time-frequency span and effective mode number are determined by considering similar studies in literature. Sensitive seismic accelerometers are used to collect signals obtained from the experimental tests. To obtain experimental dynamic characteristics, output-only system identification technique is employed namely; Enhanced Frequency Domain Decomposition technique in the frequency domain. It is demonstrated that the ambient vibration measurements are enough to identify the most significant modes of RC frames.

The serviceability design of the high-rise building is affected by the wind response vibration such as the acceleration, at this time it is important to calculate the natural frequency correctly. Since the suggestion equation of the natural frequency being used in the design phase is not the regression equation obtained from the vibration measurement of the high-rise building, the verification to use for the serviceability design of the high-rise building is necessary. This thesis conducted an ambient vibration measuring on the high-rise building through the mobile-phone application to calculate the natural frequency and suggested a natural frequency approximate expression following the building's height, and compared with the domestic/foreign standard and the result of the eigen-value analysis.

Recently, measuring instruments for SHM of structures had being developed. In general, the wireless transmission of sensor signals, compared to its wired counterpart, is preferable due to its absence of triboelectric noise and elimination of the requirement for cumbersome cable. However, the research on the tall buildings with relatively small vibration levels is insufficient. Therefore, in this paper, we used the wireless MEMS sensor and iPad to compare and analyze the vibration measurements of three tall buildings and two towers.
