Bridge is one of the important facilities use in daily life as bridge is built to span physical obstacles such as a body of water, valley or road for the purpose of providing passage over the obstacle. Various testing conducted on the bridge in order to know the dynamic characteristics of the bridges. One of popular testing use is ambient vibration test. Ambient vibration is a non-destructive test conducted using highly sensitive sensor. This testing is easy to be conduct with less labour, time and also cost. This paper aim to provide up to date literature review on ambient vibration test on bridge includes sources of ambient vibration, procedure of conducting the measurement and results from ambient vibration test. It is important to known the dynamic characteristics of the bridge especially to determine the dynamic response of the structure and also as dynamic information for seismic design.

Comparison Of The Results

The responses to forced vibrations, ambient vibrations, and large explosives were measured for Masjed Soleiman Dam, the highest embankment dam in Iran. Based on the results of these tests, the first 23 modal frequencies of the dam were measured and the related mode shapes for the first 16 modes were identified. A modal analysis of the dam body was also performed. The effects of reservoir water level variation, the rigidity and flexibility of the foundation and abutments and their depths and inertial properties, and the effect of material properties on the dynamic characteristics of the dam body were investigated, and the first eight modes of the dam body were identified. A comparison of the results of the numerical analysis with those from the tests indicates the best fit in lower modes occurs when the complete mass foundation is considered, whereas in higher modes the massless foundation model is a better fit.Key words: embankment dam, forced vibration test, ambient vibration test, explosion, modal properties.

Abstract The ambient vibration test results conducted on the Imperial County Services Building prior to the 15 October 1979 Imperial Valley earthquake are summarized. These results are of significant interest because the Imperial County Services Building has been the source of many postearthquake investigations due to the fact that the 1979 earthquake represented the first time a building instrumented with strong motion recorders suffered and recorded the major structural failure.
