Non-parametric analysis of a single seismometric recording to obtain building dynamic parameters

We propose a simple time-domain, non-parametric method to estimate the damping at the fundamental frequency of a building. The method aims at obtaining quick-and-dirty data on large sets of buildings, at the expenses of the accuracy provided by other, more complex and resource-demanding techniques....
