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

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.
