It is well known to use the HVSR (Horizontal to Vertical Spectral Ratio) method for assessing the dynamic parameters of soils (gain and resonant frequencies) at sites.
Can this method be of practical importance in assessing the vulnerability of buildings and structures, if there are no external signs on the structure itself?
That is, there is a slow degradation of the building over time, for example, due to the development of corrosion in reinforced concrete structures.
You have a very interesting question about the possibility of using the HVSR method for vulnerability assessment of buildings and structures, including the possibility of using it SHM?
I am also interested in it. Especially for multi-story buildings.
I know an example of using the HVSR method to assess the vulnerability of a 3-story building. This experience refers to Russian seismologists from Kaliningrad (Western enclave of Russia).
The article is in Russian.
I can send it if you can translate it from Russian.
Let me know if I need to send it to you?
In the future, if I know of a publication regarding your question, I will let you know.
You also let me know if you find such a publication.
Best regards,
Valery Nikulin
