Abstract

This paper presents the ambient vibration test and Operational Modal Analysis (OMA) for a typical reinforced concrete factory building which was built over 40 years ago. Detailed modal parameters of the factory building were obtained under operational conditions. The measurement was conducted in two phases. In the first phase, the vibration of the roof slab was measured to understand its dynamic behaviors. In the second phase, measurements were made on all floors of the building to assess mainly its lateral vibration. Because the number of sensors was limited, multiple setups of measurement were carried out with each setup covering a small portion of the structure so as to obtain high resolution mode shapes of the building. Reference locations were measured between each two successive setups such that the partial mode shapes from different setups could be assembled to form the global mode shapes. The identified modal frequencies, modal damping ratios and mode shapes reveal typical dynamic behaviors of factory buildings in Hong Kong.
