Evaluación del periodo estructural de edificaciones mediante el uso de acelerómetros de alta resolución y acelerómetros de uso en telefonía celular.

Abstract

The constant population growth creates the need for a significant increase in construction, demanding the implementation of mechanisms that help speed up the construction and design processes. For this reason, structural monitoring systems, which serve to obtain information on the necessary parameters in the analysis stage, have become quite relevant in the field of civil engineering. The greatest benefit of speeding up this type of process is knowing on a larger scale and speed, the different changes in the structure (for example, significant changes in mass), which will serve to determine the corresponding measures. This thesis work proposes the evaluation of the elastic period presenting monitoring or measurement alternatives, such as the use of high-resolution accelerometers, as well as the use of two cell phones of different brands to obtain information on the vibrations of three different selected structures in the city of Guayaquil. These devices will measure the accelerations of the structures, which can be observed in real time, or store information for later processing. It is proposed to carry out the assembly, as close to the ends of each building, to obtain greater amplitude. Measurements will be made at different times, to understand the variability of vibrations due to external factors. All the information collected will be processed using techniques, such as the Fourier transform, contamination patterns will be observed, and the respective filters will be applied.
