| Abstract: | This paper presents the experimental investigation of the Fei-Tsui arch dam using the forced vibration test and its seismic response data. A forced vibration test was conducted on Fei-Tsui dam, this study presents the identified dynamic properties of the dam from these test data. For the identification of dam properties from seismic response data, in order to consider the nonuniform excitation of the seismic input and to describe the global behavior of the dam, the multiple input/multiple output discrete-time ARX model with least square estimation is applied to identify the dynamic characteristics of the dam. The system modal frequency, damping ratio and frequency response function are identified from both the forced vibration and seismic response data. To verify the accuracy of the identification result, comparison between discrete-time ARX model and a frequency domain conditioned spectral analysis was made. Finally, the spatial variation of ground motion across the free-field canyon surface is also studied. |
