Identification of Dynamic Characteristics of a Historical Church in Armenia Using Microtremor Survey Technique

Abstract:

Historical Churches in Armenia may have many experiences of earthquake ground motion. Thus, some of them have been damaged partially or severely. We had carried out the microtremor survey at a historical churches, which is Cathedral at Etchimiadzin around 5th century, to identify the dynamic characteristic. Four sensors are used simultaneously for the observations and modes of vibration are identified from some methods such as the Fourier spectrum and coherence function, and frequency domain decomposition (FDD) technique.
