Abstract
Due to the heavy and dynamic equipment, the vibration and resonance effects that are not encountered under static dead loading may amplify over time in industrial buildings. This might cause damage to the structural system and create human comfort problems while the structure is in service. In this study, ambient vibration testing of a building composed of reinforced concrete and steel structural systems and located at a boron processing plant in Turkey was performed. The velocities and accelerations caused by the sieve shaker system attached to the structure with springs, are evaluated under the effect of sample loading.
Highlights
Numerical methods used in the analysis of existing structures include many approaches and assumptions that are incompatible with reality (Ewins, 1995)
The frequency-acceleration response graphs are obtained for 10 measurements at indicated locations
Vibration acceleration amplitude was determined as RMS (Root Mean Square) or m/s2 as the square root of averages
Summary
Numerical methods used in the analysis of existing structures include many approaches and assumptions that are incompatible with reality (Ewins, 1995). The methods described as structural health monitoring and ambient vibration analyses are used to determine the dynamic behavior of existing private structures (Michel et al, 2008; Brincker et al, 2003). These methods can be defined as using vibration records taken from existing structures to determine the dynamic properties of a structure, taking consideration into factors with undetermined amplitude and change, such as wind, vehicle and human movements, machine vibrations and sea waves. The measurements and results obtained within a sample industrial structure with dynamic challenges will be discussed
