Variability in the Natural Frequencies of a Nine-Story Concrete Building from Seconds to Decades

Since 2001, the Southern California Seismic Network has archived continuous waveform data from strong-motion station CI.MIK in Caltech Hall (formerly Millikan Library)—a nine-story reinforced concrete building. Simple spectral analysis of this 20 yr record reveals that the building’s fundamental fre...
