NONDISTRUCTIVE TESTING FOR STRUCTURAL DIAGNOSTICS BY DINAMIC INSTRUMENTATION FOR OLTENIA REGION OLD MASONRY BUILDING AFFECTED BY THE STRONG SEISMIC MOTION FROM LAST CENTURY
Abstract
This paper presents the dynamic investigations on the response of important building from Craiova, the University of Craiova. This building was affected by the major seismic motion from March 1977, 1986 and 1990. The processing of the data obtained through this investigation gives important conclusions on the influence of the major seismic movements of a specific type of structure. The main degradation of the structure was observed using noninvasive testing. This building with high importance was tested using dynamic instrumentation for structural diagnostic. Using dynamic analysis the risk was assessed as a seismic category for this old masonry building which was projected with just gravity concept. For the analyzed structure using dynamic invetigations was managed to determine the level of the damages caused by the earthquake. The structureпїЅs beahviour leads to the final findings about the effects of the soil movement during the earthquake and what needs to be done in order to rehabilitate the structure. The decisions were taken using the results of the investigations of the site after the damage caused by the earthquake . Modifications were made taking into consideration the structural and nonstructural degradated parts of the building.
