However, the effects of infill walls on the structural properties of a building have been recognized by engineers and studied for a long time [2]. e infill walls are supposed to increase the building stiffness. ey also may have some undesirable effects on the building performance, such as enhancing the soſt storey mechanism or causing short column effects.

(ii) mesomodeling in which the bricks are modeled by continuum elements, but the mortar joint and its interface with bricks are modeled together as an interface element (Figure 1(c)). (iii) macromodeling in which a single numerical model represents the infill panel effect [2]. Macromodeling is considered in two levels, that is, (1) homogenized model in which the brick, mortar, and the interface are modeled as one continuum element (Figure 1(d)), and (2) strut model in which the infill panel is mod- eled by one (Figure 1(e)) or more struts (Figure 1(f)) in each direction.

1 Introduction

Steel-frame buildings with masonry infill walls are a typeof construction widely used throughout many developingcountries Hollow clay tile blocks hollow concrete blocksand normal bricks are used in infill walls (Figure 1(a)) Theinfill walls being traditionally nonengineered have as-builtproperties which at the design stage are almost impossibleto estimate reliably andor to specify and at the constructionstage are hard to control [1] However the effects of infillwalls on the structural properties of a building have beenrecognized by engineers and studied for a long time [2] Theinfill walls are supposed to increase the building stiffnessThey also may have some undesirable effects on the buildingperformance such as enhancing the soft storey mechanismor causing short column effects Chaker and Cherifati [3]suggested that plane stress finite elements provide a betterrepresentation of the in-plane initial stiffness of the infillpanels under the small strain condition In order to simulatethe behavior of the infill wall different types of models can beused [4]

(i) micromodeling in which the effect of mortar jointsare considered as a discrete element In this approachthe brick and mortar are modeled as continuumelements and interface between the brick and mortaris modeled by an interface joint element (Figure 1(b))

(ii) mesomodeling in which the bricks are modeled bycontinuum elements but the mortar joint and itsinterface with bricks are modeled together as aninterface element (Figure 1(c))

On the other hand the vibrational behavior of the framestructures was investigated by different researchers Foutchstudied the vibrational characteristics of a nine-story rein-forcement concrete frame [30] Jain studied the ImperialCounty Services Building analytically and compared theresponse with those recorded by strong motion accelero-graphs during the 1979 Imperial Valley earthquake [31] How-ever the fundamental frequencies from the numerical resultsand the field measurements were not in close agreementbecause of the foundation flexibility Jennings et al [32] testeda forced vibration experiment on a twenty-two story steel-framed structure and extracted first six natural frequenciesFoutch [33] compared the natural frequencies and 3D modeshapes of a twenty story steel structure using forced vibrationtest and finite element method He concluded that theproperties of the primarily translational modes are predictedreasonably well but adequate prediction of torsional motionsis not obtained Trifunac [34] compared ambient and forced

vibration techniques for testing full-scale structures undersmall level excitations He concluded that both methodsprovide mutually consistent results

Beside the different experimental and numerical tech-niques that are used for free and forced vibration analysis ofstructures the dynamic behavior of the buildings and towerscan be estimated by analytical methods Free vibration ofbeam-like structures was studied by several researchers [35ndash37] Most of the previous studies have been oriented towardsthe closed-form solutions of the free flexural vibration ofa beam Li et al [38] derived the exact solution for freeflexural vibration of the stepped cantilever beams subjected toaxial loads They used the exact solution of a prismatic beamaccompanied by the transfermatrixmethodHowever effectsof the soil-structure interaction (SSI) shear deformation andthe joint flexibility were not considered Lin and Chang [39]investigated free vibration analysis of a multispan beam witharbitrary number of flexible constraints They assumed thateach span of the continuous beam obeys Timoshenko beamtheory Firouz-Abadi et al [40] studied the transverse freevibrations of typical truncated nonuniform Euler-Bernoullibeams by using a WKB global approximation Sina et al[41] proposed a new beam theory for free vibration analysisof functionally graded beams The beam properties wereassumed to be varied through the thickness following a powerlaw distribution Also it was assumed that the lateral normalstress of the beam is zero Carrera et al [42] proposed a hier-archical finite element method based on the Carrera UnifiedFormulation for free vibration analysis of beamwith arbitrarysection geometries Ghasemzadeh et al [43] proposed a set ofapproximate formulas to determine the natural frequencies ofthe structures considering the panel zone flexibility and SSI

2 Description of the Case Study Building

The selected structure is a 36-year-old five-story steel-frame building located in Tehran Iran The outer frames

of the building are filled by brick and masonry materials(Figure 2(a)) The dimensions are 4070m times 1470m Thebuilding is designed according to the Iranian National Build-ing Code (INBC) [46] for a very high seismic zone Thebuilding is located on soil type III (where the average shearwave velocity to a depth of 30mwould be 180ms to 360ms)The foundation is strip footing with the depth of 80 cmand the width of 150 cm The structural system is momentresisting frame in the E-W direction and concentricallybraced frame in the N-S direction A rigid diaphragm can beassumed according to the roof system used in this buildingYoungrsquos modulus E and the Poissonrsquos ratio 120592 of the materialfor the main steel frame are 21E5MPa and 03 respectivelyDead load equal to DL = 650 kgm2 for all stories exceptthe roof level (DL = 600 kgm2) and live load equal to LL= 350 kgm2 for all stories except the second floor (LL =750 kgm2) are considered based on the as-built drawingsThe typical plan view of the building for all the stories isshown in Figure 2(b)

further analyses Instruments used for measurement in thepresent study are data logger and accelerometers (Figure 3)EDX-1500A is a sixteen-canal data collector which is ableto measure variable frequencies up to 10KHz (Figure 3(a))Furthermore it includes a powerful monitoring system andcan be used for revision and process of collected data EDX-1500A includes four signal conditioner cards in which one ofthem is VAQ-60A and the others are CDV-60A Each cardis used for connecting four accelerometers CDV-60A cardis used just for miniature accelerometers and VAQ-60A cardis used just for connection of the server accelerometers It isnoteworthy that all the accelerometers should be calibratedbefore using in the final measurements For this purposeVAQ-test is required for ensuring the proper performance ofthe accelerometers

There are various methods for shaking of the structurebased on purpose of the research One of the simplest andinexpensive methods is based on the rotation of out of centermasses using amotor For this purpose a shaker was designedby the authors (Figure 4(b)) The shaker basically includestwo same mass-points rotating in opposite the directionswith the same velocity Layout and theory of this method areshown in Figure 4(a) As it is clear the resultant force in thismethod has a sinusoidal nature just in one direction

32 Steady State Forced Vibration Test In this test shakeris installed on the roof of the building approximately nearthe center of stiffness In addition uniaxial accelerometers

are installed in all the stories near the center of the stiffnessBy shaking the structure in N-S direction and analyzing therecorded data the natural frequency of building is measuredas (120596119899)N-S = 270Hz By the same method for E-W direction

(120596119899)E-W = 250HzThe shape of the entire frequency-response wave is

controlled by the amount of damping in the system so itis possible to derive the damping ratio from many differentproperties of the curve The most conventional method isbandwidth or half-powermethod inwhich the damping ratiois determined from the frequencies at which the response is1radic2 times the peak responseWith thismethod the dampingratio is computed as about 6 for this structure

33 Ambient Vibration Test Considering that all sides of theselected building are free it is possible to apply ambient vibra-tion test without using any external shaker For this purposedata loggers are installed near the center of the stiffness ineach story inN-S and E-Wdirections and results are recordedon a stormy day Resulting frequencies are the same as thoseobtained from forced vibration test except that the wind isused as a natural shaker in the ambient vibration test

6 Results

In this section the results obtained from numerical simu-lations experimental tests analytical approximate formulasand the codified proposed values for natural frequencies arecompared Table 3 summarizes all the methods used in thisstudy and also the corresponding abbreviations Based on thistable two experimental methods six numerical models withand without infill panel effect on rigidflexible foundationfour analytical approximate formulations and finally threecodified-based methods are used in order to estimate thenatural frequencies

Figure 10 shows the natural frequencies of the consideredbuilding in N-S and E-W directions using various methodsAs mentioned before the results of the natural frequenciesbased on forced vibration and ambient vibration tests havethe same values and are 270Hz in N-S and 250Hz in E-Wdirections Based on the numerical models it can be con-cluded that neglecting infill panel effect leads to decreasingthe frequency meaningfully Also modeling the foundationas a rigid medium leads to increasing the frequency a littlein all models Modeling infill panel as a compressive strutincreases frequencies in both directions The differencesbetween N3 and T1 are about 11 for N-S direction and 10in E-W direction Macromodeling based on shell elementsincreases the natural frequencies than to macromodelingbased on the compressive-strut theorem In this conditionthe differences between N5 and the experimental tests are56 and 6 for N-S and E-W directions respectively Asseen modeling the infill panel based on the continuumelement theorem leads to realistic behavior than to modelingit as a compressive strut

Table 4 summarizes the percentage of the error betweenthe numerical approximate formulas and the codified basedmethods with the exact values obtained from the experimen-tal testsUsing the proposed approximate formulas neglectingthe infill panels leads to almost the same results as thoseobtained from numerical simulations On the other handusing the proposed technique considering both infill paneland SSI effects leads to very close results to the experimentaltest In this condition the percentage of the errors between F4and T1 are only 15 and 24 for N-S and E-W directionsrespectively Once again it should be mentioned that theproposed formulation does not account for the torsionaldeformation effect That means that the term GJ119897 is notincorporated in the formulas Therefore when a building isunsymmetrical the error of the formula is meaningful Thevalue of the error depends to the distance between the centerof mass and the center of rigidity

Finally the results of the experimental tests are comparedwith codified proposed formulas All three design codes areproposed an empirical formulation in the form of 119879 = 119862 times

119867120573 in which 119867 is the height of the structure and 119862 and 120573

are the constant values which differ by the type of the lateralresisting system Considering that the lateral resisting systemin the current case is a combination of moment resistingand braced and infill panel systems the value of 119862 is 005based on INBC and 00488 based on UBC and ASCE [48]codes The value of the 120573 is 075 based on all three codes (all

7 Conclusions

This paper presents vibration analysis of a steel-frame build-ing considering the infill panelsrsquo effect through experimentalnumerical and analytical approaches In order to extractthe actual natural frequencies of the building various steadystate forced and ambient vibration experimental tests werecarried out It was found that the results of two methodsmeaning the forced and ambient vibration are the same Inaddition a set of appropriate tests were carried out to realizethe compressive and shear strength of the masonry materialsof the infill panels It was observed that the materials arenot in good condition and this old building needs to berehabilitated

A set of approximate formulas were proposed for freevibration analysis of steel structures with various structuralsystems where the frame is idealized as prismatic can-tilever flexural-shear beam In the proposed technique soil-structure interaction is considered as axial and torsionalsprings whose potential energy is formulated and incorpo-rated into overall potential energy of the structure

Moreover a set of three-dimensional finite element mod-els of the building were provided In these models mainstructural systems are modeled by ldquobeamrdquo elements whilethe infill panels are simulated macromechanically by eithercontinuum elements or equivalent struts

It was found that modeling infill panels has significanteffect on vibration characteristics of the structures andneglecting their effects can leads to errors about 35ndash45in natural frequencies Considering soil-structure interac-tion leads to more flexibility in the system and decreasesfrequency of system Generally modeling infill panels bycontinuum elements lead to higher frequencies and decreasethe percentage of the errors between the finite element modeland experimental tests It was concluded that using detailedfinite element model of the structure modeling infill panelsusing shell elements and also considering the soil-structure-interaction may leads to more accurate result

It was shown that the proposed approximate formulashave good capability in estimation of the natural frequencyof steel structures They can be used for computing thefrequency of various structural systems by less computationalefforts In the present study there is only 15ndash25 errorwhen using the approximate formulas compared to the forcedvibration test Also it was shown that the codified proposedformulas have a close estimation to the test results and leadto errors of about 2ndash12 in considered building

In this paper an old steel building in which the outerframes have been filled by masonry materials is selectedas case study Various steady state forced vibration tests aswell as ambient vibration test are carried out for realize theframersquos dynamic characteristics Also a set of experimentsare used to find out the compressive and shear strengthof the masonry infill panels Some approximate formulasare proposed for free vibration analysis of the steel framein which the structure is idealized as prismatic cantileverflexural-shear beam In addition 3D finite element model ofthe building is developed and the macromodeling approachis used for simulation of the infill panels Finally the naturalfrequencies resulting from different methods are compared

2 Description of the Case Study Building

The selected structure is a 36-year-old five-story steel-frame building located in Tehran Iran The outer frames

of the building are filled by brick and masonry materials(Figure 2(a)) The dimensions are 4070m times 1470m Thebuilding is designed according to the Iranian National Build-ing Code (INBC) [46] for a very high seismic zone Thebuilding is located on soil type III (where the average shearwave velocity to a depth of 30mwould be 180ms to 360ms)The foundation is strip footing with the depth of 80 cmand the width of 150 cm The structural system is momentresisting frame in the E-W direction and concentricallybraced frame in the N-S direction A rigid diaphragm can beassumed according to the roof system used in this buildingYoungrsquos modulus E and the Poissonrsquos ratio 120592 of the materialfor the main steel frame are 21E5MPa and 03 respectivelyDead load equal to DL = 650 kgm2 for all stories exceptthe roof level (DL = 600 kgm2) and live load equal to LL= 350 kgm2 for all stories except the second floor (LL =750 kgm2) are considered based on the as-built drawingsThe typical plan view of the building for all the stories isshown in Figure 2(b)

further analyses Instruments used for measurement in thepresent study are data logger and accelerometers (Figure 3)EDX-1500A is a sixteen-canal data collector which is ableto measure variable frequencies up to 10KHz (Figure 3(a))Furthermore it includes a powerful monitoring system andcan be used for revision and process of collected data EDX-1500A includes four signal conditioner cards in which one ofthem is VAQ-60A and the others are CDV-60A Each cardis used for connecting four accelerometers CDV-60A cardis used just for miniature accelerometers and VAQ-60A cardis used just for connection of the server accelerometers It isnoteworthy that all the accelerometers should be calibratedbefore using in the final measurements For this purposeVAQ-test is required for ensuring the proper performance ofthe accelerometers

There are various methods for shaking of the structurebased on purpose of the research One of the simplest andinexpensive methods is based on the rotation of out of centermasses using amotor For this purpose a shaker was designedby the authors (Figure 4(b)) The shaker basically includestwo same mass-points rotating in opposite the directionswith the same velocity Layout and theory of this method areshown in Figure 4(a) As it is clear the resultant force in thismethod has a sinusoidal nature just in one direction

32 Steady State Forced Vibration Test In this test shakeris installed on the roof of the building approximately nearthe center of stiffness In addition uniaxial accelerometers

are installed in all the stories near the center of the stiffnessBy shaking the structure in N-S direction and analyzing therecorded data the natural frequency of building is measuredas (120596119899)N-S = 270Hz By the same method for E-W direction

(120596119899)E-W = 250HzThe shape of the entire frequency-response wave is

controlled by the amount of damping in the system so itis possible to derive the damping ratio from many differentproperties of the curve The most conventional method isbandwidth or half-powermethod inwhich the damping ratiois determined from the frequencies at which the response is1radic2 times the peak responseWith thismethod the dampingratio is computed as about 6 for this structure

33 Ambient Vibration Test Considering that all sides of theselected building are free it is possible to apply ambient vibra-tion test without using any external shaker For this purposedata loggers are installed near the center of the stiffness ineach story inN-S and E-Wdirections and results are recordedon a stormy day Resulting frequencies are the same as thoseobtained from forced vibration test except that the wind isused as a natural shaker in the ambient vibration test

Figure 6 Macromodeling of the infill panel based on the equivalent strut approach

In the present study both the macromodeling based oncontinuum elements (Figure 1(d)) and the compressive-strutelement (Figure 1(e)) are used All the beams and columnsare modeled using ldquoBeamrdquo elements while all the beam-column connections are assumed to be rigid SSI effect isconsidered by modeling the foundation and its surroundingenvironment as massless medium using ldquoSolidrdquo elementsThe massless foundation is extended about three times ofthe building height in all directions It should be noticedthat there is no need to apply the nonreflecting boundaryconditions on the far-end boundaries of the foundationmodel because no seismic analysis is performed in this paperIn the macromodeling based on the continuum elementsthe infill panel is directly modeled by 3D ldquoShellrdquo elementsconsidering appropriate properties of the main panel In themacromodeling based on equivalent strut approach the infillpanel is replaced with a diagonal compressive-strut elementof width 119886 and the same thickness and modulus of elasticityof infill panel using ldquoLinkrdquo elements This is a two-nodepinned-end element which connects two opposite cornersof the frame The element is capable of transferring onlycompressive pressure in the axial direction In this methodthe equivalent width 119886 for the elastic in-plane behavior priorto cracking can be calculated based on Figure 6 [46]

5 Analytical Approximate Solution

51 Fundamentals and Assumptions In order to derive a setof appropriate approximate formulas for analytical vibrationanalysis of the structure a doubly symmetric structure in planis selected as a sample which is subjected to uniformly dis-tributed gravity loads at story levels as shown in Figure 7(a)It is also assumed that both the beams and the columnshave uniform sections throughout the height of the buildingFurthermore floor slabs are considered as rigid diaphragmsin their own plane so that the relative displacements betweenframes are restricted

The structure is idealized as a prismatic cantilever beamwith flexural rigidity EI shear rigidity GA axial distributedcompression force 119873 and mass per unit length 119898 as shownin Figure 7(b) Floor masses and gravity loads at story levelsare also replaced by concentratedmasses119898

119894and concentrated

torsional springs The general algorithm for the analyticalsolution is summarized in Figure 8 and will be explained indetail in the next subsections

6 Results

In this section the results obtained from numerical simu-lations experimental tests analytical approximate formulasand the codified proposed values for natural frequencies arecompared Table 3 summarizes all the methods used in thisstudy and also the corresponding abbreviations Based on thistable two experimental methods six numerical models withand without infill panel effect on rigidflexible foundationfour analytical approximate formulations and finally threecodified-based methods are used in order to estimate thenatural frequencies

Figure 10 shows the natural frequencies of the consideredbuilding in N-S and E-W directions using various methodsAs mentioned before the results of the natural frequenciesbased on forced vibration and ambient vibration tests havethe same values and are 270Hz in N-S and 250Hz in E-Wdirections Based on the numerical models it can be con-cluded that neglecting infill panel effect leads to decreasingthe frequency meaningfully Also modeling the foundationas a rigid medium leads to increasing the frequency a littlein all models Modeling infill panel as a compressive strutincreases frequencies in both directions The differencesbetween N3 and T1 are about 11 for N-S direction and 10in E-W direction Macromodeling based on shell elementsincreases the natural frequencies than to macromodelingbased on the compressive-strut theorem In this conditionthe differences between N5 and the experimental tests are56 and 6 for N-S and E-W directions respectively Asseen modeling the infill panel based on the continuumelement theorem leads to realistic behavior than to modelingit as a compressive strut

Table 4 summarizes the percentage of the error betweenthe numerical approximate formulas and the codified basedmethods with the exact values obtained from the experimen-tal testsUsing the proposed approximate formulas neglectingthe infill panels leads to almost the same results as thoseobtained from numerical simulations On the other handusing the proposed technique considering both infill paneland SSI effects leads to very close results to the experimentaltest In this condition the percentage of the errors between F4and T1 are only 15 and 24 for N-S and E-W directionsrespectively Once again it should be mentioned that theproposed formulation does not account for the torsionaldeformation effect That means that the term GJ119897 is notincorporated in the formulas Therefore when a building isunsymmetrical the error of the formula is meaningful Thevalue of the error depends to the distance between the centerof mass and the center of rigidity

Finally the results of the experimental tests are comparedwith codified proposed formulas All three design codes areproposed an empirical formulation in the form of 119879 = 119862 times

119867120573 in which 119867 is the height of the structure and 119862 and 120573

are the constant values which differ by the type of the lateralresisting system Considering that the lateral resisting systemin the current case is a combination of moment resistingand braced and infill panel systems the value of 119862 is 005based on INBC and 00488 based on UBC and ASCE [48]codes The value of the 120573 is 075 based on all three codes (all

7 Conclusions

This paper presents vibration analysis of a steel-frame build-ing considering the infill panelsrsquo effect through experimentalnumerical and analytical approaches In order to extractthe actual natural frequencies of the building various steadystate forced and ambient vibration experimental tests werecarried out It was found that the results of two methodsmeaning the forced and ambient vibration are the same Inaddition a set of appropriate tests were carried out to realizethe compressive and shear strength of the masonry materialsof the infill panels It was observed that the materials arenot in good condition and this old building needs to berehabilitated

A set of approximate formulas were proposed for freevibration analysis of steel structures with various structuralsystems where the frame is idealized as prismatic can-tilever flexural-shear beam In the proposed technique soil-structure interaction is considered as axial and torsionalsprings whose potential energy is formulated and incorpo-rated into overall potential energy of the structure

Moreover a set of three-dimensional finite element mod-els of the building were provided In these models mainstructural systems are modeled by ldquobeamrdquo elements whilethe infill panels are simulated macromechanically by eithercontinuum elements or equivalent struts

It was found that modeling infill panels has significanteffect on vibration characteristics of the structures andneglecting their effects can leads to errors about 35ndash45in natural frequencies Considering soil-structure interac-tion leads to more flexibility in the system and decreasesfrequency of system Generally modeling infill panels bycontinuum elements lead to higher frequencies and decreasethe percentage of the errors between the finite element modeland experimental tests It was concluded that using detailedfinite element model of the structure modeling infill panelsusing shell elements and also considering the soil-structure-interaction may leads to more accurate result

It was shown that the proposed approximate formulashave good capability in estimation of the natural frequencyof steel structures They can be used for computing thefrequency of various structural systems by less computationalefforts In the present study there is only 15ndash25 errorwhen using the approximate formulas compared to the forcedvibration test Also it was shown that the codified proposedformulas have a close estimation to the test results and leadto errors of about 2ndash12 in considered building

In this paper an old steel building in which the outerframes have been filled by masonry materials is selectedas case study Various steady state forced vibration tests aswell as ambient vibration test are carried out for realize theframersquos dynamic characteristics Also a set of experimentsare used to find out the compressive and shear strengthof the masonry infill panels Some approximate formulasare proposed for free vibration analysis of the steel framein which the structure is idealized as prismatic cantileverflexural-shear beam In addition 3D finite element model ofthe building is developed and the macromodeling approachis used for simulation of the infill panels Finally the naturalfrequencies resulting from different methods are compared

2 Description of the Case Study Building

The selected structure is a 36-year-old five-story steel-frame building located in Tehran Iran The outer frames

of the building are filled by brick and masonry materials(Figure 2(a)) The dimensions are 4070m times 1470m Thebuilding is designed according to the Iranian National Build-ing Code (INBC) [46] for a very high seismic zone Thebuilding is located on soil type III (where the average shearwave velocity to a depth of 30mwould be 180ms to 360ms)The foundation is strip footing with the depth of 80 cmand the width of 150 cm The structural system is momentresisting frame in the E-W direction and concentricallybraced frame in the N-S direction A rigid diaphragm can beassumed according to the roof system used in this buildingYoungrsquos modulus E and the Poissonrsquos ratio 120592 of the materialfor the main steel frame are 21E5MPa and 03 respectivelyDead load equal to DL = 650 kgm2 for all stories exceptthe roof level (DL = 600 kgm2) and live load equal to LL= 350 kgm2 for all stories except the second floor (LL =750 kgm2) are considered based on the as-built drawingsThe typical plan view of the building for all the stories isshown in Figure 2(b)

further analyses Instruments used for measurement in thepresent study are data logger and accelerometers (Figure 3)EDX-1500A is a sixteen-canal data collector which is ableto measure variable frequencies up to 10KHz (Figure 3(a))Furthermore it includes a powerful monitoring system andcan be used for revision and process of collected data EDX-1500A includes four signal conditioner cards in which one ofthem is VAQ-60A and the others are CDV-60A Each cardis used for connecting four accelerometers CDV-60A cardis used just for miniature accelerometers and VAQ-60A cardis used just for connection of the server accelerometers It isnoteworthy that all the accelerometers should be calibratedbefore using in the final measurements For this purposeVAQ-test is required for ensuring the proper performance ofthe accelerometers

There are various methods for shaking of the structurebased on purpose of the research One of the simplest andinexpensive methods is based on the rotation of out of centermasses using amotor For this purpose a shaker was designedby the authors (Figure 4(b)) The shaker basically includestwo same mass-points rotating in opposite the directionswith the same velocity Layout and theory of this method areshown in Figure 4(a) As it is clear the resultant force in thismethod has a sinusoidal nature just in one direction

32 Steady State Forced Vibration Test In this test shakeris installed on the roof of the building approximately nearthe center of stiffness In addition uniaxial accelerometers

are installed in all the stories near the center of the stiffnessBy shaking the structure in N-S direction and analyzing therecorded data the natural frequency of building is measuredas (120596119899)N-S = 270Hz By the same method for E-W direction

(120596119899)E-W = 250HzThe shape of the entire frequency-response wave is

controlled by the amount of damping in the system so itis possible to derive the damping ratio from many differentproperties of the curve The most conventional method isbandwidth or half-powermethod inwhich the damping ratiois determined from the frequencies at which the response is1radic2 times the peak responseWith thismethod the dampingratio is computed as about 6 for this structure

33 Ambient Vibration Test Considering that all sides of theselected building are free it is possible to apply ambient vibra-tion test without using any external shaker For this purposedata loggers are installed near the center of the stiffness ineach story inN-S and E-Wdirections and results are recordedon a stormy day Resulting frequencies are the same as thoseobtained from forced vibration test except that the wind isused as a natural shaker in the ambient vibration test

purpose all the properties of the infill panels should beextracted based on the standard tests

41 Material Properties of Infill Panels All the infill panelsshould be in the well condition without any cracking Thenbased on Iranian rehabilitation guideline (2007) chapter 7-6-1-1-2 shear strength of the mortar should be evaluated asfollows [46] ldquoAt least one test is required per 3001198982 of the infillpanels At least 8 tests are required for each building to obtainthe reliable results Moreover the dispersion of the test locationsshould be selected in a way that covers all parts of the buildingrdquoImplementation of this experiment is shown in Figure 5 Themortar average bed-joint shear strength is calculated as

requirements for the mortar strength are not satisfied andthere is need for rehabilitation and strengthens

Based on the conducted tests and considering Iranianrehabilitation guideline [46] and FEMA356 [48] recommen-dations for calculation of the compressive strength of themortar the basic parameters are as follows brick com-pressive and tensile strength 1198911015840cb and 119891

Figure 6 Macromodeling of the infill panel based on the equivalent strut approach

In the present study both the macromodeling based oncontinuum elements (Figure 1(d)) and the compressive-strutelement (Figure 1(e)) are used All the beams and columnsare modeled using ldquoBeamrdquo elements while all the beam-column connections are assumed to be rigid SSI effect isconsidered by modeling the foundation and its surroundingenvironment as massless medium using ldquoSolidrdquo elementsThe massless foundation is extended about three times ofthe building height in all directions It should be noticedthat there is no need to apply the nonreflecting boundaryconditions on the far-end boundaries of the foundationmodel because no seismic analysis is performed in this paperIn the macromodeling based on the continuum elementsthe infill panel is directly modeled by 3D ldquoShellrdquo elementsconsidering appropriate properties of the main panel In themacromodeling based on equivalent strut approach the infillpanel is replaced with a diagonal compressive-strut elementof width 119886 and the same thickness and modulus of elasticityof infill panel using ldquoLinkrdquo elements This is a two-nodepinned-end element which connects two opposite cornersof the frame The element is capable of transferring onlycompressive pressure in the axial direction In this methodthe equivalent width 119886 for the elastic in-plane behavior priorto cracking can be calculated based on Figure 6 [46]

5 Analytical Approximate Solution

51 Fundamentals and Assumptions In order to derive a setof appropriate approximate formulas for analytical vibrationanalysis of the structure a doubly symmetric structure in planis selected as a sample which is subjected to uniformly dis-tributed gravity loads at story levels as shown in Figure 7(a)It is also assumed that both the beams and the columnshave uniform sections throughout the height of the buildingFurthermore floor slabs are considered as rigid diaphragmsin their own plane so that the relative displacements betweenframes are restricted

The structure is idealized as a prismatic cantilever beamwith flexural rigidity EI shear rigidity GA axial distributedcompression force 119873 and mass per unit length 119898 as shownin Figure 7(b) Floor masses and gravity loads at story levelsare also replaced by concentratedmasses119898

523 Proper Shape Function The accuracy of frequency ofvibration depends on the assumed shape function 119906(119909) Themore accurate the shape function is the more accurate theresult would be It is worth mentioning that 119906(119909) is not aparticular function and any shape function satisfying thegeometric boundary conditions can be used By using thedeflected shape of the equivalent beam due to a selected set offorces the geometric boundary conditions are automaticallysatisfied Several methods are available to determine thedeflected shape of the structure but arguably the mostpromising one is the principle of virtual work

6 Results

In this section the results obtained from numerical simu-lations experimental tests analytical approximate formulasand the codified proposed values for natural frequencies arecompared Table 3 summarizes all the methods used in thisstudy and also the corresponding abbreviations Based on thistable two experimental methods six numerical models withand without infill panel effect on rigidflexible foundationfour analytical approximate formulations and finally threecodified-based methods are used in order to estimate thenatural frequencies

Figure 10 shows the natural frequencies of the consideredbuilding in N-S and E-W directions using various methodsAs mentioned before the results of the natural frequenciesbased on forced vibration and ambient vibration tests havethe same values and are 270Hz in N-S and 250Hz in E-Wdirections Based on the numerical models it can be con-cluded that neglecting infill panel effect leads to decreasingthe frequency meaningfully Also modeling the foundationas a rigid medium leads to increasing the frequency a littlein all models Modeling infill panel as a compressive strutincreases frequencies in both directions The differencesbetween N3 and T1 are about 11 for N-S direction and 10in E-W direction Macromodeling based on shell elementsincreases the natural frequencies than to macromodelingbased on the compressive-strut theorem In this conditionthe differences between N5 and the experimental tests are56 and 6 for N-S and E-W directions respectively Asseen modeling the infill panel based on the continuumelement theorem leads to realistic behavior than to modelingit as a compressive strut

Table 4 summarizes the percentage of the error betweenthe numerical approximate formulas and the codified basedmethods with the exact values obtained from the experimen-tal testsUsing the proposed approximate formulas neglectingthe infill panels leads to almost the same results as thoseobtained from numerical simulations On the other handusing the proposed technique considering both infill paneland SSI effects leads to very close results to the experimentaltest In this condition the percentage of the errors between F4and T1 are only 15 and 24 for N-S and E-W directionsrespectively Once again it should be mentioned that theproposed formulation does not account for the torsionaldeformation effect That means that the term GJ119897 is notincorporated in the formulas Therefore when a building isunsymmetrical the error of the formula is meaningful Thevalue of the error depends to the distance between the centerof mass and the center of rigidity

Finally the results of the experimental tests are comparedwith codified proposed formulas All three design codes areproposed an empirical formulation in the form of 119879 = 119862 times

119867120573 in which 119867 is the height of the structure and 119862 and 120573

are the constant values which differ by the type of the lateralresisting system Considering that the lateral resisting systemin the current case is a combination of moment resistingand braced and infill panel systems the value of 119862 is 005based on INBC and 00488 based on UBC and ASCE [48]codes The value of the 120573 is 075 based on all three codes (all

7 Conclusions

This paper presents vibration analysis of a steel-frame build-ing considering the infill panelsrsquo effect through experimentalnumerical and analytical approaches In order to extractthe actual natural frequencies of the building various steadystate forced and ambient vibration experimental tests werecarried out It was found that the results of two methodsmeaning the forced and ambient vibration are the same Inaddition a set of appropriate tests were carried out to realizethe compressive and shear strength of the masonry materialsof the infill panels It was observed that the materials arenot in good condition and this old building needs to berehabilitated

A set of approximate formulas were proposed for freevibration analysis of steel structures with various structuralsystems where the frame is idealized as prismatic can-tilever flexural-shear beam In the proposed technique soil-structure interaction is considered as axial and torsionalsprings whose potential energy is formulated and incorpo-rated into overall potential energy of the structure

Moreover a set of three-dimensional finite element mod-els of the building were provided In these models mainstructural systems are modeled by ldquobeamrdquo elements whilethe infill panels are simulated macromechanically by eithercontinuum elements or equivalent struts

It was found that modeling infill panels has significanteffect on vibration characteristics of the structures andneglecting their effects can leads to errors about 35ndash45in natural frequencies Considering soil-structure interac-tion leads to more flexibility in the system and decreasesfrequency of system Generally modeling infill panels bycontinuum elements lead to higher frequencies and decreasethe percentage of the errors between the finite element modeland experimental tests It was concluded that using detailedfinite element model of the structure modeling infill panelsusing shell elements and also considering the soil-structure-interaction may leads to more accurate result

It was shown that the proposed approximate formulashave good capability in estimation of the natural frequencyof steel structures They can be used for computing thefrequency of various structural systems by less computationalefforts In the present study there is only 15ndash25 errorwhen using the approximate formulas compared to the forcedvibration test Also it was shown that the codified proposedformulas have a close estimation to the test results and leadto errors of about 2ndash12 in considered building

further analyses Instruments used for measurement in thepresent study are data logger and accelerometers (Figure 3)EDX-1500A is a sixteen-canal data collector which is ableto measure variable frequencies up to 10KHz (Figure 3(a))Furthermore it includes a powerful monitoring system andcan be used for revision and process of collected data EDX-1500A includes four signal conditioner cards in which one ofthem is VAQ-60A and the others are CDV-60A Each cardis used for connecting four accelerometers CDV-60A cardis used just for miniature accelerometers and VAQ-60A cardis used just for connection of the server accelerometers It isnoteworthy that all the accelerometers should be calibratedbefore using in the final measurements For this purposeVAQ-test is required for ensuring the proper performance ofthe accelerometers

There are various methods for shaking of the structurebased on purpose of the research One of the simplest andinexpensive methods is based on the rotation of out of centermasses using amotor For this purpose a shaker was designedby the authors (Figure 4(b)) The shaker basically includestwo same mass-points rotating in opposite the directionswith the same velocity Layout and theory of this method areshown in Figure 4(a) As it is clear the resultant force in thismethod has a sinusoidal nature just in one direction

32 Steady State Forced Vibration Test In this test shakeris installed on the roof of the building approximately nearthe center of stiffness In addition uniaxial accelerometers

are installed in all the stories near the center of the stiffnessBy shaking the structure in N-S direction and analyzing therecorded data the natural frequency of building is measuredas (120596119899)N-S = 270Hz By the same method for E-W direction

(120596119899)E-W = 250HzThe shape of the entire frequency-response wave is

controlled by the amount of damping in the system so itis possible to derive the damping ratio from many differentproperties of the curve The most conventional method isbandwidth or half-powermethod inwhich the damping ratiois determined from the frequencies at which the response is1radic2 times the peak responseWith thismethod the dampingratio is computed as about 6 for this structure

33 Ambient Vibration Test Considering that all sides of theselected building are free it is possible to apply ambient vibra-tion test without using any external shaker For this purposedata loggers are installed near the center of the stiffness ineach story inN-S and E-Wdirections and results are recordedon a stormy day Resulting frequencies are the same as thoseobtained from forced vibration test except that the wind isused as a natural shaker in the ambient vibration test

purpose all the properties of the infill panels should beextracted based on the standard tests

41 Material Properties of Infill Panels All the infill panelsshould be in the well condition without any cracking Thenbased on Iranian rehabilitation guideline (2007) chapter 7-6-1-1-2 shear strength of the mortar should be evaluated asfollows [46] ldquoAt least one test is required per 3001198982 of the infillpanels At least 8 tests are required for each building to obtainthe reliable results Moreover the dispersion of the test locationsshould be selected in a way that covers all parts of the buildingrdquoImplementation of this experiment is shown in Figure 5 Themortar average bed-joint shear strength is calculated as

Figure 6 Macromodeling of the infill panel based on the equivalent strut approach

In the present study both the macromodeling based oncontinuum elements (Figure 1(d)) and the compressive-strutelement (Figure 1(e)) are used All the beams and columnsare modeled using ldquoBeamrdquo elements while all the beam-column connections are assumed to be rigid SSI effect isconsidered by modeling the foundation and its surroundingenvironment as massless medium using ldquoSolidrdquo elementsThe massless foundation is extended about three times ofthe building height in all directions It should be noticedthat there is no need to apply the nonreflecting boundaryconditions on the far-end boundaries of the foundationmodel because no seismic analysis is performed in this paperIn the macromodeling based on the continuum elementsthe infill panel is directly modeled by 3D ldquoShellrdquo elementsconsidering appropriate properties of the main panel In themacromodeling based on equivalent strut approach the infillpanel is replaced with a diagonal compressive-strut elementof width 119886 and the same thickness and modulus of elasticityof infill panel using ldquoLinkrdquo elements This is a two-nodepinned-end element which connects two opposite cornersof the frame The element is capable of transferring onlycompressive pressure in the axial direction In this methodthe equivalent width 119886 for the elastic in-plane behavior priorto cracking can be calculated based on Figure 6 [46]

study for simulation of the building

(ii) The structure is modeled considering the infill panelsas a compressive struts

(iii) The structure is modeled considering the infill panelsas 3D shell elements

5 Analytical Approximate Solution

51 Fundamentals and Assumptions In order to derive a setof appropriate approximate formulas for analytical vibrationanalysis of the structure a doubly symmetric structure in planis selected as a sample which is subjected to uniformly dis-tributed gravity loads at story levels as shown in Figure 7(a)It is also assumed that both the beams and the columnshave uniform sections throughout the height of the buildingFurthermore floor slabs are considered as rigid diaphragmsin their own plane so that the relative displacements betweenframes are restricted

The structure is idealized as a prismatic cantilever beamwith flexural rigidity EI shear rigidity GA axial distributedcompression force 119873 and mass per unit length 119898 as shownin Figure 7(b) Floor masses and gravity loads at story levelsare also replaced by concentratedmasses119898

torsional springs The general algorithm for the analyticalsolution is summarized in Figure 8 and will be explained indetail in the next subsections

523 Proper Shape Function The accuracy of frequency ofvibration depends on the assumed shape function 119906(119909) Themore accurate the shape function is the more accurate theresult would be It is worth mentioning that 119906(119909) is not aparticular function and any shape function satisfying thegeometric boundary conditions can be used By using thedeflected shape of the equivalent beam due to a selected set offorces the geometric boundary conditions are automaticallysatisfied Several methods are available to determine thedeflected shape of the structure but arguably the mostpromising one is the principle of virtual work

6 Results

In this section the results obtained from numerical simu-lations experimental tests analytical approximate formulasand the codified proposed values for natural frequencies arecompared Table 3 summarizes all the methods used in thisstudy and also the corresponding abbreviations Based on thistable two experimental methods six numerical models withand without infill panel effect on rigidflexible foundationfour analytical approximate formulations and finally threecodified-based methods are used in order to estimate thenatural frequencies

Figure 10 shows the natural frequencies of the consideredbuilding in N-S and E-W directions using various methodsAs mentioned before the results of the natural frequenciesbased on forced vibration and ambient vibration tests havethe same values and are 270Hz in N-S and 250Hz in E-Wdirections Based on the numerical models it can be con-cluded that neglecting infill panel effect leads to decreasingthe frequency meaningfully Also modeling the foundationas a rigid medium leads to increasing the frequency a littlein all models Modeling infill panel as a compressive strutincreases frequencies in both directions The differencesbetween N3 and T1 are about 11 for N-S direction and 10in E-W direction Macromodeling based on shell elementsincreases the natural frequencies than to macromodelingbased on the compressive-strut theorem In this conditionthe differences between N5 and the experimental tests are56 and 6 for N-S and E-W directions respectively Asseen modeling the infill panel based on the continuumelement theorem leads to realistic behavior than to modelingit as a compressive strut

Table 4 summarizes the percentage of the error betweenthe numerical approximate formulas and the codified basedmethods with the exact values obtained from the experimen-tal testsUsing the proposed approximate formulas neglectingthe infill panels leads to almost the same results as thoseobtained from numerical simulations On the other handusing the proposed technique considering both infill paneland SSI effects leads to very close results to the experimentaltest In this condition the percentage of the errors between F4and T1 are only 15 and 24 for N-S and E-W directionsrespectively Once again it should be mentioned that theproposed formulation does not account for the torsionaldeformation effect That means that the term GJ119897 is notincorporated in the formulas Therefore when a building isunsymmetrical the error of the formula is meaningful Thevalue of the error depends to the distance between the centerof mass and the center of rigidity

Finally the results of the experimental tests are comparedwith codified proposed formulas All three design codes areproposed an empirical formulation in the form of 119879 = 119862 times

119867120573 in which 119867 is the height of the structure and 119862 and 120573

are the constant values which differ by the type of the lateralresisting system Considering that the lateral resisting systemin the current case is a combination of moment resistingand braced and infill panel systems the value of 119862 is 005based on INBC and 00488 based on UBC and ASCE [48]codes The value of the 120573 is 075 based on all three codes (all

7 Conclusions

This paper presents vibration analysis of a steel-frame build-ing considering the infill panelsrsquo effect through experimentalnumerical and analytical approaches In order to extractthe actual natural frequencies of the building various steadystate forced and ambient vibration experimental tests werecarried out It was found that the results of two methodsmeaning the forced and ambient vibration are the same Inaddition a set of appropriate tests were carried out to realizethe compressive and shear strength of the masonry materialsof the infill panels It was observed that the materials arenot in good condition and this old building needs to berehabilitated

A set of approximate formulas were proposed for freevibration analysis of steel structures with various structuralsystems where the frame is idealized as prismatic can-tilever flexural-shear beam In the proposed technique soil-structure interaction is considered as axial and torsionalsprings whose potential energy is formulated and incorpo-rated into overall potential energy of the structure

Moreover a set of three-dimensional finite element mod-els of the building were provided In these models mainstructural systems are modeled by ldquobeamrdquo elements whilethe infill panels are simulated macromechanically by eithercontinuum elements or equivalent struts

It was found that modeling infill panels has significanteffect on vibration characteristics of the structures andneglecting their effects can leads to errors about 35ndash45in natural frequencies Considering soil-structure interac-tion leads to more flexibility in the system and decreasesfrequency of system Generally modeling infill panels bycontinuum elements lead to higher frequencies and decreasethe percentage of the errors between the finite element modeland experimental tests It was concluded that using detailedfinite element model of the structure modeling infill panelsusing shell elements and also considering the soil-structure-interaction may leads to more accurate result

It was shown that the proposed approximate formulashave good capability in estimation of the natural frequencyof steel structures They can be used for computing thefrequency of various structural systems by less computationalefforts In the present study there is only 15ndash25 errorwhen using the approximate formulas compared to the forcedvibration test Also it was shown that the codified proposedformulas have a close estimation to the test results and leadto errors of about 2ndash12 in considered building

Figure 6 Macromodeling of the infill panel based on the equivalent strut approach

In the present study both the macromodeling based oncontinuum elements (Figure 1(d)) and the compressive-strutelement (Figure 1(e)) are used All the beams and columnsare modeled using ldquoBeamrdquo elements while all the beam-column connections are assumed to be rigid SSI effect isconsidered by modeling the foundation and its surroundingenvironment as massless medium using ldquoSolidrdquo elementsThe massless foundation is extended about three times ofthe building height in all directions It should be noticedthat there is no need to apply the nonreflecting boundaryconditions on the far-end boundaries of the foundationmodel because no seismic analysis is performed in this paperIn the macromodeling based on the continuum elementsthe infill panel is directly modeled by 3D ldquoShellrdquo elementsconsidering appropriate properties of the main panel In themacromodeling based on equivalent strut approach the infillpanel is replaced with a diagonal compressive-strut elementof width 119886 and the same thickness and modulus of elasticityof infill panel using ldquoLinkrdquo elements This is a two-nodepinned-end element which connects two opposite cornersof the frame The element is capable of transferring onlycompressive pressure in the axial direction In this methodthe equivalent width 119886 for the elastic in-plane behavior priorto cracking can be calculated based on Figure 6 [46]

5 Analytical Approximate Solution

51 Fundamentals and Assumptions In order to derive a setof appropriate approximate formulas for analytical vibrationanalysis of the structure a doubly symmetric structure in planis selected as a sample which is subjected to uniformly dis-tributed gravity loads at story levels as shown in Figure 7(a)It is also assumed that both the beams and the columnshave uniform sections throughout the height of the buildingFurthermore floor slabs are considered as rigid diaphragmsin their own plane so that the relative displacements betweenframes are restricted

The structure is idealized as a prismatic cantilever beamwith flexural rigidity EI shear rigidity GA axial distributedcompression force 119873 and mass per unit length 119898 as shownin Figure 7(b) Floor masses and gravity loads at story levelsare also replaced by concentratedmasses119898

torsional springs The general algorithm for the analyticalsolution is summarized in Figure 8 and will be explained indetail in the next subsections

Figure 10 shows the natural frequencies of the consideredbuilding in N-S and E-W directions using various methodsAs mentioned before the results of the natural frequenciesbased on forced vibration and ambient vibration tests havethe same values and are 270Hz in N-S and 250Hz in E-Wdirections Based on the numerical models it can be con-cluded that neglecting infill panel effect leads to decreasingthe frequency meaningfully Also modeling the foundationas a rigid medium leads to increasing the frequency a littlein all models Modeling infill panel as a compressive strutincreases frequencies in both directions The differencesbetween N3 and T1 are about 11 for N-S direction and 10in E-W direction Macromodeling based on shell elementsincreases the natural frequencies than to macromodelingbased on the compressive-strut theorem In this conditionthe differences between N5 and the experimental tests are56 and 6 for N-S and E-W directions respectively Asseen modeling the infill panel based on the continuumelement theorem leads to realistic behavior than to modelingit as a compressive strut

Table 4 summarizes the percentage of the error betweenthe numerical approximate formulas and the codified basedmethods with the exact values obtained from the experimen-tal testsUsing the proposed approximate formulas neglectingthe infill panels leads to almost the same results as thoseobtained from numerical simulations On the other handusing the proposed technique considering both infill paneland SSI effects leads to very close results to the experimentaltest In this condition the percentage of the errors between F4and T1 are only 15 and 24 for N-S and E-W directionsrespectively Once again it should be mentioned that theproposed formulation does not account for the torsionaldeformation effect That means that the term GJ119897 is notincorporated in the formulas Therefore when a building isunsymmetrical the error of the formula is meaningful Thevalue of the error depends to the distance between the centerof mass and the center of rigidity

Finally the results of the experimental tests are comparedwith codified proposed formulas All three design codes areproposed an empirical formulation in the form of 119879 = 119862 times

119867120573 in which 119867 is the height of the structure and 119862 and 120573

are the constant values which differ by the type of the lateralresisting system Considering that the lateral resisting systemin the current case is a combination of moment resistingand braced and infill panel systems the value of 119862 is 005based on INBC and 00488 based on UBC and ASCE [48]codes The value of the 120573 is 075 based on all three codes (all

Figure 11 shows the first mode shape of the consideredbuilding in two orthogonal directions using experimentaltest and numerical models These mode shapes are extractedbased on the relative lateral displacements of the structure innumerical models and also values of the resonance test whichdescribe average peak of Fourier spectrum in different storiesAs seen in both directions N5 model has the closest modeshape to the actual mode shape of building and N1 model hasthe least similarity to the real mode shape

7 Conclusions

This paper presents vibration analysis of a steel-frame build-ing considering the infill panelsrsquo effect through experimentalnumerical and analytical approaches In order to extractthe actual natural frequencies of the building various steadystate forced and ambient vibration experimental tests werecarried out It was found that the results of two methodsmeaning the forced and ambient vibration are the same Inaddition a set of appropriate tests were carried out to realizethe compressive and shear strength of the masonry materialsof the infill panels It was observed that the materials arenot in good condition and this old building needs to berehabilitated

A set of approximate formulas were proposed for freevibration analysis of steel structures with various structuralsystems where the frame is idealized as prismatic can-tilever flexural-shear beam In the proposed technique soil-structure interaction is considered as axial and torsionalsprings whose potential energy is formulated and incorpo-rated into overall potential energy of the structure

Moreover a set of three-dimensional finite element mod-els of the building were provided In these models mainstructural systems are modeled by ldquobeamrdquo elements whilethe infill panels are simulated macromechanically by eithercontinuum elements or equivalent struts

It was found that modeling infill panels has significanteffect on vibration characteristics of the structures andneglecting their effects can leads to errors about 35ndash45in natural frequencies Considering soil-structure interac-tion leads to more flexibility in the system and decreasesfrequency of system Generally modeling infill panels bycontinuum elements lead to higher frequencies and decreasethe percentage of the errors between the finite element modeland experimental tests It was concluded that using detailedfinite element model of the structure modeling infill panelsusing shell elements and also considering the soil-structure-interaction may leads to more accurate result

It was shown that the proposed approximate formulashave good capability in estimation of the natural frequencyof steel structures They can be used for computing thefrequency of various structural systems by less computationalefforts In the present study there is only 15ndash25 errorwhen using the approximate formulas compared to the forcedvibration test Also it was shown that the codified proposedformulas have a close estimation to the test results and leadto errors of about 2ndash12 in considered building

In the present study both the macromodeling based oncontinuum elements (Figure 1(d)) and the compressive-strutelement (Figure 1(e)) are used All the beams and columnsare modeled using ldquoBeamrdquo elements while all the beam-column connections are assumed to be rigid SSI effect isconsidered by modeling the foundation and its surroundingenvironment as massless medium using ldquoSolidrdquo elementsThe massless foundation is extended about three times ofthe building height in all directions It should be noticedthat there is no need to apply the nonreflecting boundaryconditions on the far-end boundaries of the foundationmodel because no seismic analysis is performed in this paperIn the macromodeling based on the continuum elementsthe infill panel is directly modeled by 3D ldquoShellrdquo elementsconsidering appropriate properties of the main panel In themacromodeling based on equivalent strut approach the infillpanel is replaced with a diagonal compressive-strut elementof width 119886 and the same thickness and modulus of elasticityof infill panel using ldquoLinkrdquo elements This is a two-nodepinned-end element which connects two opposite cornersof the frame The element is capable of transferring onlycompressive pressure in the axial direction In this methodthe equivalent width 119886 for the elastic in-plane behavior priorto cracking can be calculated based on Figure 6 [46]

5 Analytical Approximate Solution

51 Fundamentals and Assumptions In order to derive a setof appropriate approximate formulas for analytical vibrationanalysis of the structure a doubly symmetric structure in planis selected as a sample which is subjected to uniformly dis-tributed gravity loads at story levels as shown in Figure 7(a)It is also assumed that both the beams and the columnshave uniform sections throughout the height of the buildingFurthermore floor slabs are considered as rigid diaphragmsin their own plane so that the relative displacements betweenframes are restricted

The structure is idealized as a prismatic cantilever beamwith flexural rigidity EI shear rigidity GA axial distributedcompression force 119873 and mass per unit length 119898 as shownin Figure 7(b) Floor masses and gravity loads at story levelsare also replaced by concentratedmasses119898

523 Proper Shape Function The accuracy of frequency ofvibration depends on the assumed shape function 119906(119909) Themore accurate the shape function is the more accurate theresult would be It is worth mentioning that 119906(119909) is not aparticular function and any shape function satisfying thegeometric boundary conditions can be used By using thedeflected shape of the equivalent beam due to a selected set offorces the geometric boundary conditions are automaticallysatisfied Several methods are available to determine thedeflected shape of the structure but arguably the mostpromising one is the principle of virtual work

6 Results

In this section the results obtained from numerical simu-lations experimental tests analytical approximate formulasand the codified proposed values for natural frequencies arecompared Table 3 summarizes all the methods used in thisstudy and also the corresponding abbreviations Based on thistable two experimental methods six numerical models withand without infill panel effect on rigidflexible foundationfour analytical approximate formulations and finally threecodified-based methods are used in order to estimate thenatural frequencies

Figure 10 shows the natural frequencies of the consideredbuilding in N-S and E-W directions using various methodsAs mentioned before the results of the natural frequenciesbased on forced vibration and ambient vibration tests havethe same values and are 270Hz in N-S and 250Hz in E-Wdirections Based on the numerical models it can be con-cluded that neglecting infill panel effect leads to decreasingthe frequency meaningfully Also modeling the foundationas a rigid medium leads to increasing the frequency a littlein all models Modeling infill panel as a compressive strutincreases frequencies in both directions The differencesbetween N3 and T1 are about 11 for N-S direction and 10in E-W direction Macromodeling based on shell elementsincreases the natural frequencies than to macromodelingbased on the compressive-strut theorem In this conditionthe differences between N5 and the experimental tests are56 and 6 for N-S and E-W directions respectively Asseen modeling the infill panel based on the continuumelement theorem leads to realistic behavior than to modelingit as a compressive strut

Table 4 summarizes the percentage of the error betweenthe numerical approximate formulas and the codified basedmethods with the exact values obtained from the experimen-tal testsUsing the proposed approximate formulas neglectingthe infill panels leads to almost the same results as thoseobtained from numerical simulations On the other handusing the proposed technique considering both infill paneland SSI effects leads to very close results to the experimentaltest In this condition the percentage of the errors between F4and T1 are only 15 and 24 for N-S and E-W directionsrespectively Once again it should be mentioned that theproposed formulation does not account for the torsionaldeformation effect That means that the term GJ119897 is notincorporated in the formulas Therefore when a building isunsymmetrical the error of the formula is meaningful Thevalue of the error depends to the distance between the centerof mass and the center of rigidity

Finally the results of the experimental tests are comparedwith codified proposed formulas All three design codes areproposed an empirical formulation in the form of 119879 = 119862 times

119867120573 in which 119867 is the height of the structure and 119862 and 120573

7 Conclusions

This paper presents vibration analysis of a steel-frame build-ing considering the infill panelsrsquo effect through experimentalnumerical and analytical approaches In order to extractthe actual natural frequencies of the building various steadystate forced and ambient vibration experimental tests werecarried out It was found that the results of two methodsmeaning the forced and ambient vibration are the same Inaddition a set of appropriate tests were carried out to realizethe compressive and shear strength of the masonry materialsof the infill panels It was observed that the materials arenot in good condition and this old building needs to berehabilitated

A set of approximate formulas were proposed for freevibration analysis of steel structures with various structuralsystems where the frame is idealized as prismatic can-tilever flexural-shear beam In the proposed technique soil-structure interaction is considered as axial and torsionalsprings whose potential energy is formulated and incorpo-rated into overall potential energy of the structure

Moreover a set of three-dimensional finite element mod-els of the building were provided In these models mainstructural systems are modeled by ldquobeamrdquo elements whilethe infill panels are simulated macromechanically by eithercontinuum elements or equivalent struts

It was found that modeling infill panels has significanteffect on vibration characteristics of the structures andneglecting their effects can leads to errors about 35ndash45in natural frequencies Considering soil-structure interac-tion leads to more flexibility in the system and decreasesfrequency of system Generally modeling infill panels bycontinuum elements lead to higher frequencies and decreasethe percentage of the errors between the finite element modeland experimental tests It was concluded that using detailedfinite element model of the structure modeling infill panelsusing shell elements and also considering the soil-structure-interaction may leads to more accurate result

It was shown that the proposed approximate formulashave good capability in estimation of the natural frequencyof steel structures They can be used for computing thefrequency of various structural systems by less computationalefforts In the present study there is only 15ndash25 errorwhen using the approximate formulas compared to the forcedvibration test Also it was shown that the codified proposedformulas have a close estimation to the test results and leadto errors of about 2ndash12 in considered building

523 Proper Shape Function The accuracy of frequency ofvibration depends on the assumed shape function 119906(119909) Themore accurate the shape function is the more accurate theresult would be It is worth mentioning that 119906(119909) is not aparticular function and any shape function satisfying thegeometric boundary conditions can be used By using thedeflected shape of the equivalent beam due to a selected set offorces the geometric boundary conditions are automaticallysatisfied Several methods are available to determine thedeflected shape of the structure but arguably the mostpromising one is the principle of virtual work

6 Results

In this section the results obtained from numerical simu-lations experimental tests analytical approximate formulasand the codified proposed values for natural frequencies arecompared Table 3 summarizes all the methods used in thisstudy and also the corresponding abbreviations Based on thistable two experimental methods six numerical models withand without infill panel effect on rigidflexible foundationfour analytical approximate formulations and finally threecodified-based methods are used in order to estimate thenatural frequencies

Figure 10 shows the natural frequencies of the consideredbuilding in N-S and E-W directions using various methodsAs mentioned before the results of the natural frequenciesbased on forced vibration and ambient vibration tests havethe same values and are 270Hz in N-S and 250Hz in E-Wdirections Based on the numerical models it can be con-cluded that neglecting infill panel effect leads to decreasingthe frequency meaningfully Also modeling the foundationas a rigid medium leads to increasing the frequency a littlein all models Modeling infill panel as a compressive strutincreases frequencies in both directions The differencesbetween N3 and T1 are about 11 for N-S direction and 10in E-W direction Macromodeling based on shell elementsincreases the natural frequencies than to macromodelingbased on the compressive-strut theorem In this conditionthe differences between N5 and the experimental tests are56 and 6 for N-S and E-W directions respectively Asseen modeling the infill panel based on the continuumelement theorem leads to realistic behavior than to modelingit as a compressive strut

Table 4 summarizes the percentage of the error betweenthe numerical approximate formulas and the codified basedmethods with the exact values obtained from the experimen-tal testsUsing the proposed approximate formulas neglectingthe infill panels leads to almost the same results as thoseobtained from numerical simulations On the other handusing the proposed technique considering both infill paneland SSI effects leads to very close results to the experimentaltest In this condition the percentage of the errors between F4and T1 are only 15 and 24 for N-S and E-W directionsrespectively Once again it should be mentioned that theproposed formulation does not account for the torsionaldeformation effect That means that the term GJ119897 is notincorporated in the formulas Therefore when a building isunsymmetrical the error of the formula is meaningful Thevalue of the error depends to the distance between the centerof mass and the center of rigidity

Finally the results of the experimental tests are comparedwith codified proposed formulas All three design codes areproposed an empirical formulation in the form of 119879 = 119862 times

119867120573 in which 119867 is the height of the structure and 119862 and 120573

are the constant values which differ by the type of the lateralresisting system Considering that the lateral resisting systemin the current case is a combination of moment resistingand braced and infill panel systems the value of 119862 is 005based on INBC and 00488 based on UBC and ASCE [48]codes The value of the 120573 is 075 based on all three codes (all

7 Conclusions

This paper presents vibration analysis of a steel-frame build-ing considering the infill panelsrsquo effect through experimentalnumerical and analytical approaches In order to extractthe actual natural frequencies of the building various steadystate forced and ambient vibration experimental tests werecarried out It was found that the results of two methodsmeaning the forced and ambient vibration are the same Inaddition a set of appropriate tests were carried out to realizethe compressive and shear strength of the masonry materialsof the infill panels It was observed that the materials arenot in good condition and this old building needs to berehabilitated

A set of approximate formulas were proposed for freevibration analysis of steel structures with various structuralsystems where the frame is idealized as prismatic can-tilever flexural-shear beam In the proposed technique soil-structure interaction is considered as axial and torsionalsprings whose potential energy is formulated and incorpo-rated into overall potential energy of the structure

Moreover a set of three-dimensional finite element mod-els of the building were provided In these models mainstructural systems are modeled by ldquobeamrdquo elements whilethe infill panels are simulated macromechanically by eithercontinuum elements or equivalent struts

It was found that modeling infill panels has significanteffect on vibration characteristics of the structures andneglecting their effects can leads to errors about 35ndash45in natural frequencies Considering soil-structure interac-tion leads to more flexibility in the system and decreasesfrequency of system Generally modeling infill panels bycontinuum elements lead to higher frequencies and decreasethe percentage of the errors between the finite element modeland experimental tests It was concluded that using detailedfinite element model of the structure modeling infill panelsusing shell elements and also considering the soil-structure-interaction may leads to more accurate result

It was shown that the proposed approximate formulashave good capability in estimation of the natural frequencyof steel structures They can be used for computing thefrequency of various structural systems by less computationalefforts In the present study there is only 15ndash25 errorwhen using the approximate formulas compared to the forcedvibration test Also it was shown that the codified proposedformulas have a close estimation to the test results and leadto errors of about 2ndash12 in considered building

As seen (14) is of the same form as the frequency expressionfor a single degree of freedom (SDOF) system In otherwordsby restricting the lateral displacement of the structure to asingle shape function 119906(119909) which defines the mode shapethe structure behaves as a generalized SDOF system [47]

523 Proper Shape Function The accuracy of frequency ofvibration depends on the assumed shape function 119906(119909) Themore accurate the shape function is the more accurate theresult would be It is worth mentioning that 119906(119909) is not aparticular function and any shape function satisfying thegeometric boundary conditions can be used By using thedeflected shape of the equivalent beam due to a selected set offorces the geometric boundary conditions are automaticallysatisfied Several methods are available to determine thedeflected shape of the structure but arguably the mostpromising one is the principle of virtual work

6 Results

In this section the results obtained from numerical simu-lations experimental tests analytical approximate formulasand the codified proposed values for natural frequencies arecompared Table 3 summarizes all the methods used in thisstudy and also the corresponding abbreviations Based on thistable two experimental methods six numerical models withand without infill panel effect on rigidflexible foundationfour analytical approximate formulations and finally threecodified-based methods are used in order to estimate thenatural frequencies

Figure 10 shows the natural frequencies of the consideredbuilding in N-S and E-W directions using various methodsAs mentioned before the results of the natural frequenciesbased on forced vibration and ambient vibration tests havethe same values and are 270Hz in N-S and 250Hz in E-Wdirections Based on the numerical models it can be con-cluded that neglecting infill panel effect leads to decreasingthe frequency meaningfully Also modeling the foundationas a rigid medium leads to increasing the frequency a littlein all models Modeling infill panel as a compressive strutincreases frequencies in both directions The differencesbetween N3 and T1 are about 11 for N-S direction and 10in E-W direction Macromodeling based on shell elementsincreases the natural frequencies than to macromodelingbased on the compressive-strut theorem In this conditionthe differences between N5 and the experimental tests are56 and 6 for N-S and E-W directions respectively Asseen modeling the infill panel based on the continuumelement theorem leads to realistic behavior than to modelingit as a compressive strut

Table 4 summarizes the percentage of the error betweenthe numerical approximate formulas and the codified basedmethods with the exact values obtained from the experimen-tal testsUsing the proposed approximate formulas neglectingthe infill panels leads to almost the same results as thoseobtained from numerical simulations On the other handusing the proposed technique considering both infill paneland SSI effects leads to very close results to the experimentaltest In this condition the percentage of the errors between F4and T1 are only 15 and 24 for N-S and E-W directionsrespectively Once again it should be mentioned that theproposed formulation does not account for the torsionaldeformation effect That means that the term GJ119897 is notincorporated in the formulas Therefore when a building isunsymmetrical the error of the formula is meaningful Thevalue of the error depends to the distance between the centerof mass and the center of rigidity

Finally the results of the experimental tests are comparedwith codified proposed formulas All three design codes areproposed an empirical formulation in the form of 119879 = 119862 times

119867120573 in which 119867 is the height of the structure and 119862 and 120573

are the constant values which differ by the type of the lateralresisting system Considering that the lateral resisting systemin the current case is a combination of moment resistingand braced and infill panel systems the value of 119862 is 005based on INBC and 00488 based on UBC and ASCE [48]codes The value of the 120573 is 075 based on all three codes (all

7 Conclusions

This paper presents vibration analysis of a steel-frame build-ing considering the infill panelsrsquo effect through experimentalnumerical and analytical approaches In order to extractthe actual natural frequencies of the building various steadystate forced and ambient vibration experimental tests werecarried out It was found that the results of two methodsmeaning the forced and ambient vibration are the same Inaddition a set of appropriate tests were carried out to realizethe compressive and shear strength of the masonry materialsof the infill panels It was observed that the materials arenot in good condition and this old building needs to berehabilitated

A set of approximate formulas were proposed for freevibration analysis of steel structures with various structuralsystems where the frame is idealized as prismatic can-tilever flexural-shear beam In the proposed technique soil-structure interaction is considered as axial and torsionalsprings whose potential energy is formulated and incorpo-rated into overall potential energy of the structure

Moreover a set of three-dimensional finite element mod-els of the building were provided In these models mainstructural systems are modeled by ldquobeamrdquo elements whilethe infill panels are simulated macromechanically by eithercontinuum elements or equivalent struts

It was found that modeling infill panels has significanteffect on vibration characteristics of the structures andneglecting their effects can leads to errors about 35ndash45in natural frequencies Considering soil-structure interac-tion leads to more flexibility in the system and decreasesfrequency of system Generally modeling infill panels bycontinuum elements lead to higher frequencies and decreasethe percentage of the errors between the finite element modeland experimental tests It was concluded that using detailedfinite element model of the structure modeling infill panelsusing shell elements and also considering the soil-structure-interaction may leads to more accurate result

It was shown that the proposed approximate formulashave good capability in estimation of the natural frequencyof steel structures They can be used for computing thefrequency of various structural systems by less computationalefforts In the present study there is only 15ndash25 errorwhen using the approximate formulas compared to the forcedvibration test Also it was shown that the codified proposedformulas have a close estimation to the test results and leadto errors of about 2ndash12 in considered building

6 Results

In this section the results obtained from numerical simu-lations experimental tests analytical approximate formulasand the codified proposed values for natural frequencies arecompared Table 3 summarizes all the methods used in thisstudy and also the corresponding abbreviations Based on thistable two experimental methods six numerical models withand without infill panel effect on rigidflexible foundationfour analytical approximate formulations and finally threecodified-based methods are used in order to estimate thenatural frequencies

Figure 10 shows the natural frequencies of the consideredbuilding in N-S and E-W directions using various methodsAs mentioned before the results of the natural frequenciesbased on forced vibration and ambient vibration tests havethe same values and are 270Hz in N-S and 250Hz in E-Wdirections Based on the numerical models it can be con-cluded that neglecting infill panel effect leads to decreasingthe frequency meaningfully Also modeling the foundationas a rigid medium leads to increasing the frequency a littlein all models Modeling infill panel as a compressive strutincreases frequencies in both directions The differencesbetween N3 and T1 are about 11 for N-S direction and 10in E-W direction Macromodeling based on shell elementsincreases the natural frequencies than to macromodelingbased on the compressive-strut theorem In this conditionthe differences between N5 and the experimental tests are56 and 6 for N-S and E-W directions respectively Asseen modeling the infill panel based on the continuumelement theorem leads to realistic behavior than to modelingit as a compressive strut

Table 4 summarizes the percentage of the error betweenthe numerical approximate formulas and the codified basedmethods with the exact values obtained from the experimen-tal testsUsing the proposed approximate formulas neglectingthe infill panels leads to almost the same results as thoseobtained from numerical simulations On the other handusing the proposed technique considering both infill paneland SSI effects leads to very close results to the experimentaltest In this condition the percentage of the errors between F4and T1 are only 15 and 24 for N-S and E-W directionsrespectively Once again it should be mentioned that theproposed formulation does not account for the torsionaldeformation effect That means that the term GJ119897 is notincorporated in the formulas Therefore when a building isunsymmetrical the error of the formula is meaningful Thevalue of the error depends to the distance between the centerof mass and the center of rigidity

Finally the results of the experimental tests are comparedwith codified proposed formulas All three design codes areproposed an empirical formulation in the form of 119879 = 119862 times

119867120573 in which 119867 is the height of the structure and 119862 and 120573

are the constant values which differ by the type of the lateralresisting system Considering that the lateral resisting systemin the current case is a combination of moment resistingand braced and infill panel systems the value of 119862 is 005based on INBC and 00488 based on UBC and ASCE [48]codes The value of the 120573 is 075 based on all three codes (all

7 Conclusions

This paper presents vibration analysis of a steel-frame build-ing considering the infill panelsrsquo effect through experimentalnumerical and analytical approaches In order to extractthe actual natural frequencies of the building various steadystate forced and ambient vibration experimental tests werecarried out It was found that the results of two methodsmeaning the forced and ambient vibration are the same Inaddition a set of appropriate tests were carried out to realizethe compressive and shear strength of the masonry materialsof the infill panels It was observed that the materials arenot in good condition and this old building needs to berehabilitated

A set of approximate formulas were proposed for freevibration analysis of steel structures with various structuralsystems where the frame is idealized as prismatic can-tilever flexural-shear beam In the proposed technique soil-structure interaction is considered as axial and torsionalsprings whose potential energy is formulated and incorpo-rated into overall potential energy of the structure

Moreover a set of three-dimensional finite element mod-els of the building were provided In these models mainstructural systems are modeled by ldquobeamrdquo elements whilethe infill panels are simulated macromechanically by eithercontinuum elements or equivalent struts

It was found that modeling infill panels has significanteffect on vibration characteristics of the structures andneglecting their effects can leads to errors about 35ndash45in natural frequencies Considering soil-structure interac-tion leads to more flexibility in the system and decreasesfrequency of system Generally modeling infill panels bycontinuum elements lead to higher frequencies and decreasethe percentage of the errors between the finite element modeland experimental tests It was concluded that using detailedfinite element model of the structure modeling infill panelsusing shell elements and also considering the soil-structure-interaction may leads to more accurate result

It was shown that the proposed approximate formulashave good capability in estimation of the natural frequencyof steel structures They can be used for computing thefrequency of various structural systems by less computationalefforts In the present study there is only 15ndash25 errorwhen using the approximate formulas compared to the forcedvibration test Also it was shown that the codified proposedformulas have a close estimation to the test results and leadto errors of about 2ndash12 in considered building

6 Results

In this section the results obtained from numerical simu-lations experimental tests analytical approximate formulasand the codified proposed values for natural frequencies arecompared Table 3 summarizes all the methods used in thisstudy and also the corresponding abbreviations Based on thistable two experimental methods six numerical models withand without infill panel effect on rigidflexible foundationfour analytical approximate formulations and finally threecodified-based methods are used in order to estimate thenatural frequencies

Figure 10 shows the natural frequencies of the consideredbuilding in N-S and E-W directions using various methodsAs mentioned before the results of the natural frequenciesbased on forced vibration and ambient vibration tests havethe same values and are 270Hz in N-S and 250Hz in E-Wdirections Based on the numerical models it can be con-cluded that neglecting infill panel effect leads to decreasingthe frequency meaningfully Also modeling the foundationas a rigid medium leads to increasing the frequency a littlein all models Modeling infill panel as a compressive strutincreases frequencies in both directions The differencesbetween N3 and T1 are about 11 for N-S direction and 10in E-W direction Macromodeling based on shell elementsincreases the natural frequencies than to macromodelingbased on the compressive-strut theorem In this conditionthe differences between N5 and the experimental tests are56 and 6 for N-S and E-W directions respectively Asseen modeling the infill panel based on the continuumelement theorem leads to realistic behavior than to modelingit as a compressive strut

Table 4 summarizes the percentage of the error betweenthe numerical approximate formulas and the codified basedmethods with the exact values obtained from the experimen-tal testsUsing the proposed approximate formulas neglectingthe infill panels leads to almost the same results as thoseobtained from numerical simulations On the other handusing the proposed technique considering both infill paneland SSI effects leads to very close results to the experimentaltest In this condition the percentage of the errors between F4and T1 are only 15 and 24 for N-S and E-W directionsrespectively Once again it should be mentioned that theproposed formulation does not account for the torsionaldeformation effect That means that the term GJ119897 is notincorporated in the formulas Therefore when a building isunsymmetrical the error of the formula is meaningful Thevalue of the error depends to the distance between the centerof mass and the center of rigidity

Finally the results of the experimental tests are comparedwith codified proposed formulas All three design codes areproposed an empirical formulation in the form of 119879 = 119862 times

119867120573 in which 119867 is the height of the structure and 119862 and 120573

are the constant values which differ by the type of the lateralresisting system Considering that the lateral resisting systemin the current case is a combination of moment resistingand braced and infill panel systems the value of 119862 is 005based on INBC and 00488 based on UBC and ASCE [48]codes The value of the 120573 is 075 based on all three codes (all

7 Conclusions

This paper presents vibration analysis of a steel-frame build-ing considering the infill panelsrsquo effect through experimentalnumerical and analytical approaches In order to extractthe actual natural frequencies of the building various steadystate forced and ambient vibration experimental tests werecarried out It was found that the results of two methodsmeaning the forced and ambient vibration are the same Inaddition a set of appropriate tests were carried out to realizethe compressive and shear strength of the masonry materialsof the infill panels It was observed that the materials arenot in good condition and this old building needs to berehabilitated

A set of approximate formulas were proposed for freevibration analysis of steel structures with various structuralsystems where the frame is idealized as prismatic can-tilever flexural-shear beam In the proposed technique soil-structure interaction is considered as axial and torsionalsprings whose potential energy is formulated and incorpo-rated into overall potential energy of the structure

Moreover a set of three-dimensional finite element mod-els of the building were provided In these models mainstructural systems are modeled by ldquobeamrdquo elements whilethe infill panels are simulated macromechanically by eithercontinuum elements or equivalent struts

It was found that modeling infill panels has significanteffect on vibration characteristics of the structures andneglecting their effects can leads to errors about 35ndash45in natural frequencies Considering soil-structure interac-tion leads to more flexibility in the system and decreasesfrequency of system Generally modeling infill panels bycontinuum elements lead to higher frequencies and decreasethe percentage of the errors between the finite element modeland experimental tests It was concluded that using detailedfinite element model of the structure modeling infill panelsusing shell elements and also considering the soil-structure-interaction may leads to more accurate result

It was shown that the proposed approximate formulashave good capability in estimation of the natural frequencyof steel structures They can be used for computing thefrequency of various structural systems by less computationalefforts In the present study there is only 15ndash25 errorwhen using the approximate formulas compared to the forcedvibration test Also it was shown that the codified proposedformulas have a close estimation to the test results and leadto errors of about 2ndash12 in considered building

6 Results

In this section the results obtained from numerical simu-lations experimental tests analytical approximate formulasand the codified proposed values for natural frequencies arecompared Table 3 summarizes all the methods used in thisstudy and also the corresponding abbreviations Based on thistable two experimental methods six numerical models withand without infill panel effect on rigidflexible foundationfour analytical approximate formulations and finally threecodified-based methods are used in order to estimate thenatural frequencies

Figure 10 shows the natural frequencies of the consideredbuilding in N-S and E-W directions using various methodsAs mentioned before the results of the natural frequenciesbased on forced vibration and ambient vibration tests havethe same values and are 270Hz in N-S and 250Hz in E-Wdirections Based on the numerical models it can be con-cluded that neglecting infill panel effect leads to decreasingthe frequency meaningfully Also modeling the foundationas a rigid medium leads to increasing the frequency a littlein all models Modeling infill panel as a compressive strutincreases frequencies in both directions The differencesbetween N3 and T1 are about 11 for N-S direction and 10in E-W direction Macromodeling based on shell elementsincreases the natural frequencies than to macromodelingbased on the compressive-strut theorem In this conditionthe differences between N5 and the experimental tests are56 and 6 for N-S and E-W directions respectively Asseen modeling the infill panel based on the continuumelement theorem leads to realistic behavior than to modelingit as a compressive strut

Table 4 summarizes the percentage of the error betweenthe numerical approximate formulas and the codified basedmethods with the exact values obtained from the experimen-tal testsUsing the proposed approximate formulas neglectingthe infill panels leads to almost the same results as thoseobtained from numerical simulations On the other handusing the proposed technique considering both infill paneland SSI effects leads to very close results to the experimentaltest In this condition the percentage of the errors between F4and T1 are only 15 and 24 for N-S and E-W directionsrespectively Once again it should be mentioned that theproposed formulation does not account for the torsionaldeformation effect That means that the term GJ119897 is notincorporated in the formulas Therefore when a building isunsymmetrical the error of the formula is meaningful Thevalue of the error depends to the distance between the centerof mass and the center of rigidity

Finally the results of the experimental tests are comparedwith codified proposed formulas All three design codes areproposed an empirical formulation in the form of 119879 = 119862 times

119867120573 in which 119867 is the height of the structure and 119862 and 120573

are the constant values which differ by the type of the lateralresisting system Considering that the lateral resisting systemin the current case is a combination of moment resistingand braced and infill panel systems the value of 119862 is 005based on INBC and 00488 based on UBC and ASCE [48]codes The value of the 120573 is 075 based on all three codes (all

Figure 11 shows the first mode shape of the consideredbuilding in two orthogonal directions using experimentaltest and numerical models These mode shapes are extractedbased on the relative lateral displacements of the structure innumerical models and also values of the resonance test whichdescribe average peak of Fourier spectrum in different storiesAs seen in both directions N5 model has the closest modeshape to the actual mode shape of building and N1 model hasthe least similarity to the real mode shape

7 Conclusions

This paper presents vibration analysis of a steel-frame build-ing considering the infill panelsrsquo effect through experimentalnumerical and analytical approaches In order to extractthe actual natural frequencies of the building various steadystate forced and ambient vibration experimental tests werecarried out It was found that the results of two methodsmeaning the forced and ambient vibration are the same Inaddition a set of appropriate tests were carried out to realizethe compressive and shear strength of the masonry materialsof the infill panels It was observed that the materials arenot in good condition and this old building needs to berehabilitated

A set of approximate formulas were proposed for freevibration analysis of steel structures with various structuralsystems where the frame is idealized as prismatic can-tilever flexural-shear beam In the proposed technique soil-structure interaction is considered as axial and torsionalsprings whose potential energy is formulated and incorpo-rated into overall potential energy of the structure

Moreover a set of three-dimensional finite element mod-els of the building were provided In these models mainstructural systems are modeled by ldquobeamrdquo elements whilethe infill panels are simulated macromechanically by eithercontinuum elements or equivalent struts

It was found that modeling infill panels has significanteffect on vibration characteristics of the structures andneglecting their effects can leads to errors about 35ndash45in natural frequencies Considering soil-structure interac-tion leads to more flexibility in the system and decreasesfrequency of system Generally modeling infill panels bycontinuum elements lead to higher frequencies and decreasethe percentage of the errors between the finite element modeland experimental tests It was concluded that using detailedfinite element model of the structure modeling infill panelsusing shell elements and also considering the soil-structure-interaction may leads to more accurate result

It was shown that the proposed approximate formulashave good capability in estimation of the natural frequencyof steel structures They can be used for computing thefrequency of various structural systems by less computationalefforts In the present study there is only 15ndash25 errorwhen using the approximate formulas compared to the forcedvibration test Also it was shown that the codified proposedformulas have a close estimation to the test results and leadto errors of about 2ndash12 in considered building

It was shown that the proposed approximate formulashave good capability in estimation of the natural frequencyof steel structures They can be used for computing thefrequency of various structural systems by less computationalefforts In the present study there is only 15ndash25 errorwhen using the approximate formulas compared to the forcedvibration test Also it was shown that the codified proposedformulas have a close estimation to the test results and leadto errors of about 2ndash12 in considered building
