✦ Synopsis

This paper describes randomness of damping and its probabilistic characteristics in buildings based on full scale measurements. Amplitude dependent behavior of damping at different amplitude level is presented and discussed, and probabilistic characteristics of the damping at high amplitude plateau are analysed. The obtained probability density function (PDF) of damping shows that the PDF of damping at high amplitude can be well represented by the Normal distribution (Gaussian distribution).

The magnitude of the vertical component of earthquake ground motion is often about one-third of the horizontal component. Thus, it is necessary to calculate vertical dynamic characteristics of tall buildings and high-rise structures in design stage for certain cases. In analysing free vibrations of
