Calibration of an arch dam model by the finite element method using ambient vibration testing
Includes bibliographic references. === The finite element model of an arch dam was calibrated for dynamic behaviour using the measured natural frequencies and mode shapes as benchmarks. The properties were extracted from the structure using ambient vibration testing techniques. Besides the geometry...
