Dynamic testing of as-built civil engineering structures: a review and evaluation
As part of an investigation on the role of dynamic testing for assessing the safety of as-built nuclear power plant structures, the experience with dynamic testing of other as-built large civil engineering structures is evaluated. A critical review of published literature on the dynamic testing of a large number of structures formed the basis for this evaluation. In addition studies on the use of recorded seismic response data from civil engineering structures for characterizing the dynamic behavior of the structures were also reviewed to establish the connection between test response and earthquake response. The different sources of excitation, and the associated methods of post-test data analysis for determining dynamic parameters from measured response are evaluated separately and by mutual comparison.
