Parameter Identification of Civil Structure by Genetic Algorithm

This paper deals with the identification of building construction simulation model parameters. We carried out experiments determining construction behavior when actuated by external force applied to real small-scale model. The measured frequency characteristics are used to identify parameters of the simulation model created in the ANSYS APDL environment using the Genetic algorithm. The resulting (tuned) simulation model in the FEM environment will be used to simulate and investigate behavior of buildings using various types of external actuating effects.
