ARX Model Identification of Shui-Kou Concrete Gravity Dam Based on Seismic Response Data

Abstract:

Research on the dynamic characteristics of gravity dam was carried out by adopting ARX model using the seismic response data of concrete gravity dam at Shui-Kou hydropower station. The applicability and effectiveness of single-output-multiple-input ARX model were deduced and verified. A corresponding computer program was developed, and performed to identify the modal parameters of the system. The identified natural frequencies and damping ratios were basically same with the results by traditional peak point pick-up method, and also close to the finite element method (FEM) results. It is indicated that the structure natural frequencies and damping ratios are determined by the characteristics of the structure, the dynamic characteristics identified by ARX model are correct, and ARX model can avoid frequency leakiness when smoothing processing and Fourier transform are conducted in solving process of the peak point pick-up method. The modal identification can be applied to other structures.
