Structural Identification of an 18-Story RC Building in Nepal Using Post-Earthquake Ambient Vibration and Lidar Data

Abstract: Few studies have been conducted to systematically assess post-earthquake condition of structures using vibration measurements. This paper presents system identification and finite element (FE) modeling of an 18-story apartment building that was damaged during the 2015 Gorkha earthquake and its aftershocks in Nepal. In June 2015, a few months after the earthquake, the authors visited the building and recorded the building's ambient acceleration response. The recorded data are analyzed, and the modal parameters … Show more

“…Typically, the modes of buildings can be identified with a model order of 50 or less . However, the first mode of the 10‐story building is only identified when a much higher system order is considered.…”

“…In addition, LiDAR has the ability to work at day and night, even in adverse conditions, such as in poor illumination or through clouds and smoke. A number of studies have used post-even LiDAR imageries to detect building damage [20][21][22][23]. There are also some studies that combined optical imagery with SAR imagery.…”

“…At the same time, a large number of analytical investigations of the behaviour of masonry infilled RC building structures have been pursued, at different modelling scales and levels of complexity, in order to predict the effect of masonry infills on infilled frame response and failure (Smith and Carter, 1969;Dhanasekar and Page, 1986;Fardis and Calvi, 1995;Crisafulli, 1997;Kappos and Ellul, 2000;Chrysostomou et al, 2002;Fajfar, 2002, 2008a,b;Repapis et al, 2006b;Borzi et al, 2008;Bakas et al, 2009;Asteris and Cotsovos, 2012;Chrysostomou and Asteris, 2012;Ellul and D'Ayala, 2012;Haldar and Singh, 2012;Lagaros, 2012;Vougioukas, 2012;Sarhosis et al, 2014;Zeris, 2014;Jeon et al, 2015;Bolea, 2016;Dumaru et al, 2016;Furtado et al, 2016;Morfidis and Kostinakis, 2017). More recently, with the advancement of testing and data acquisition hardware, together with the evolution of fast and efficient algorithms for data handling techniques, these two approaches above are jointly pursued in full scale field testing vis-à-vis the dynamic model identification (OMA) in order to establish the dynamic characteristics of full scale structures under excitation (Rainieri, 2008;Yu et al, 2017).…”
