A novel technique to estimate stiffness in buildings is presented. In contrast with most of the available work in the literature that resorts to diverse forms of modal analysis, this local technique is based on the propagation of a Ricker pulse through the structure and on measuring the wave arrival times at each story of the building, represented as a single layer in a multiple stratum model. These arrival times are later used to recuperate building stiffness at each story. Wave propagation is based on the Thomson-Haskell method, that allows to generalize the wave propagation method to multi-story buildings without significant changes to the original formulation. The number of calculated parameters is small in comparison with methods based on modal analysis. This technique provides and quick and easy methodology to assess building integrity and is an interesting alternative to verify results obtained by other identification methods. Simulation results for building with heterogeneous characteristics across the stories confirm the feasibility of the proposal.

Different Levels

In this paper, the elastic wave propagation method was used in damage detection in thin structures. The effectiveness and accuracy of the system based on the wave propagation phenomenon depend on the number and localization of the sensors. The utilization of the piezoelectric (PZT) transducers makes possible to build a low-cost damage detection system that can be used in structural health monitoring (SHM) of the metallic and composite structures. The different number and localization of transducers were considered in the numerical and experimental analysis of the wave propagation phenomenon. The relation of the sensors configuration and the damage detection capability was demonstrated. The main assumptions and requirements of SHM systems of different levels were discussed with reference to the damage detection expectations. The importance of the damage detection system constituents (sensors number, localization, or damage index) in different levels of analysis was verified and discussed to emphasize that in many practical applications introducing complicated procedures and sophisticated data processing techniques does not lead to improving the damage detection efficiency. Finally, the necessity of the appropriate formulation of SHM system requirements and expectations was underlined to improve the effectiveness of the detection methods in particular levels of analysis and thus to improve the safety of the monitored structures.
