Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamic parameters of structures extracted from ambient vibration measurements : An aid for the seismic vulnerability assessment of existing buildings in moderate seismic hazard regions
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented the physical meaning of the frequency domain decomposition (FDD) method to estimate the modal parameters of a nine-storey reinforced concrete (RC) dwelling in Grenoble (France).
Journal ArticleDOI
Full-scale dynamic response of an RC building under weak seismic motions using earthquake recordings, ambient vibrations and modelling
TL;DR: In this paper, an enhanced modal analysis technique (Frequency Domain Decomposition) was used to process ambient vibration recordings taken at the Grenoble City Hall building (France), which can contribute to the understanding of the seismic building response and the good relevancy of a modal model based on ambient vibrations for estimating the structural deformation under moderate earthquakes.
Journal ArticleDOI
A simplified approach for vulnerability assessment in moderate-to-low seismic hazard regions: application to Grenoble (France)
TL;DR: In this article, a light vulnerability assessment method is proposed and tested in Grenoble (France), based on classes and scores provided in the GNDT method but simplified in terms of visual screening and number of structural parameters used.
Journal ArticleDOI
Time-Frequency Analysis of Small Frequency Variations in Civil Engineering Structures Under Weak and Strong Motions Using a Reassignment Method
Clotaire Michel,Philippe Guéguen +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used standard time-frequency methods with amplitude normalization and reassignment method in order to observe smaller variations in earthquake recordings in buildings and showed that these variations are probably due to variations of the input motion and cannot be attributed to variations in the structural system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment of Site Effects in Alpine Regions through Systematic Site Characterization of Seismic Stations
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a technique for site characterization based on the analysis of surface waves, particularly from passive experiments, and includes cross checks of the derived amplification functions with those obtained through spectral modeling of recorded earthquakes.
