ResumoThe results of full scale measurements of damping as well as other researches on damping show that damping in buildings exhibits randomness and amplitude dependent behaviour in the case of tall buildings subjected to dynamic loading. In this paper, based on full scale measurements of damping in a tall building, a time series analysis method (TSA) is employed to obtain the relationship between damping and vibration amplitude. Then, two models of damping in a tall building, the artificial neural network (ANN) model and the auto-regressive (AR) model, are established by employing ANN and AR methods, and used to predict the damping values at high amplitude level, which are difficult to obtain from field measurements. In order to get high accuracy, a genetic algorithm strategy is employed to aid in training the ANN. Comparison analysis of the neural network model and the AR model of damping is made, and the results are presented and discussed.
