Abstract
This paper reports the results of experimental modal analysis of a five-storey benchmark model with impact excitation using HP-VXI data acquisition system and LMS CADA-X software. A numerical was also conducted. The benchmark building model was identified both in terms of its dynamic parameters, namely, natural frequencies, mode shapes and damping ratios as well as its structural properties, namely, the mass, stiffness and damping matrices. The results showed a good agreement between the analytical and experimental results. These parameters enabled further analysis and modeling of the building frame in the presence of various control devices using different control algorithms, aimed at reducing earthquake-induced building vibrations.
