  1. Data Acquisition Interface to Support Seismic Retrofit Kenneth Hanson Cerritos College

  2. Overview- Retrofit Project • Long Beach Public Safety Building • CSULB Involved in Unique Project • Data collection during seismic retrofit • Correlate data with construction progress • Identify changes in structural characteristics as construction progresses • Critical facility-Down Town Long Beach • Fire station • Police station • City jail • Emergency response services

  3. Overview- Retrofit Project • 6-story, Steel-Frame • Undergoing a $30M seismic retrofit • Dense Instrumentation • Data Collection • Before retrofit • During retrofit • After retrofit

  4. Acceleration Measurements • Project: Automate Ambient Vibration Measurements • Very important, especially during construction • National Instruments • NI-4472 PCI data acquisition • 24-bits • Synchronized timing

  5. Acceleration Measurements • K-2 Data Recorders • Kinemetrics Inc. • Automatic recording when earthquake event happens • Threshold-based recording

  6. Structural Health Monitoring • Measurements of building structural response • Compare model predictions to measured responses • Modeling • Finite element model • Linear • Nonlinear • Model response to earthquakes • Historical earthquake records • Pre-retrofit • Post-retrofit

  7. Statement of the Problem: Ambient vibration data must be acquired before, during and after the retrofit. Presently stored data is manually taken twice a week at the building location. To perform real time data measurements the output of the existing system does not interface with the National Instruments Data Acquisition (DAQ) system.

  8. Solution to the problem: Design and fabricate an interface that would allow data to be routed around existing hardware to provide real time data acquisition, measurement and display.

  9. Instrumentation • Vibration measurements • Accelerometers • Strain measurements • Strain gages • Fiber-optic strain sensors • Displacement measurements • Laser based displacement • Acoustic Emission Sensors
