Exploring changes in building strength using seismic wave deconvolution

Tóm tắt

AbstractIn order to avoid the casualties caused by damaged buildings during strong earthquakes, it’s important and essential to understand the seismic design specifications of buildings. The motion of a building depends on the interferometry of building and ground motion, the coupling between building and ground, and the mechanical properties of the building. We applied deconvolution technique to the motion recorded to separate the building response and calculated the structural parameters (including traveling wave velocity, resonant frequency and attenuation parameter). Therefore, we can check medium’s state by tracking these parameters to avoid damaged building collapse in the next mega-earthquake. We deployed a seismograph array in the building to record the earthquakes and few months of ambient noise data. In addition, we divided the structure into lower and higher floors to calculate the layering velocity. We found that the wave velocities of the lower and higher floors are significantly different but the former exhibit stable variation. For the monitoring phase, we tried different stacking time-lengths and calculated the related traveling wave velocities which are similar to the analysis in earthquakes. From the above results, we concluded that the physical parameters of the building can monitor the healthy condition of structure. Finally, we hope these results would be helpful to build a long-term monitoring of building's healthy status and the assessment of seismic hazard.
