- Third Party Resource Title: Structural Identification of a Single-Story Building - Mass, Stiffness and Damping
- Third Party Resource Link: https://serc.carleton.edu/teaching_computation/workshop_2021/activities/245822.html
- Description: Students will preform a set of two dynamics tests on a single-degree of freedom model. Using the acceleration time history response information collected from these tests students will be able to identify the model's mass, stiffness and damping coefficient. In practice, being able to determine the dynamics properties of an existing building or other structural system is critical in predicting the building's response to natural and man-made hazards and in identifying if damage occurred during an event.
