Abstract
Many buildings during their operational period incur damage of different origin: man-made, natural, operational, etc. Dynamic tests are performed for detailed assessment of the technical condition of buildings and structures in accordance with the regulatory documents for general analysis of the building damage state. In a large number of papers, the results of comparison of full-scale tests and numerical analysis using finite element method are presented. When analyzing the results, it can be concluded that the dynamic method is reliable, but has several limitations. The advantage of the dynamic method of building damage assessment is the possibility to adjust finite element models in software systems taking into account results obtained from in-situ tests, which allows to obtain more accurate results for the assessment of bearing capacity under seismic loading. To examine the effect of damage to buildings on their seismic resistance, an experiment with corrosiondamaged reinforced concrete columns was performed. The result of the first stage of the experiment is the assessment of the change in dynamic characteristics (eigenfrequency, vibration decrement, vibration damping coefficient, etc.) of reinforced concrete column specimens subjected to corrosion damage.
