Investigation of reinforced concrete buildings under the ambient vibration effect and infill walls

Infill walls in reinforced concrete structures have many uses. Separation of independent parts and spaces, protection of the building from external influences, the use of the building to provide insulation such as the load affects the building. In addition to the effect of fill walls as a load on the structure, there are also different dynamic effects on the structure. Analytical methods with different modeling techniques and experimental studies are available to investigate the effects of infill walls on the structure. To verify the theoretical principles used for structural analysis by a series of laboratory tests and to compare the data obtained will be a continuous method. In recent years, we have been able to demonstrate the correctness of the structures, theoretical principles and the data calculated by a number of analysis programs, through the use of building monitoring systems, which provide more data, continuous monitoring and comparison. In this study, the data obtained by the ambient vibration recordings and the three analysis programs which were frequently used at the same stages of the structure were compared with the data obtained by the analysis of vibration data.
