Abstract
To identify and calibrate the finite element model for multi-story buildings, a simplifıed approach is being introduced in this paper; this methodology is based on interferometric imaging and encompasses spectral ratio (SR) method. Interferometric imaging provides a new set of seismic data free of coupling between structures to its subsurface and independent of the excitation of the building. The SR method, on the other hand, is the ratio of Fourier amplitude spectra of the roof-deconvolved records on two adjacent stories. The newly introduced methodology enables each story to be identified uniquely for its stiffness since the SR of a particular story is dependent only on the properties of itself and the stories above.
