“…The similar idea was checked in work [9] where the damping properties of the wharf 375 meters long were investigated. Although the wharf was designed as a number of independent sections, the research had shown that the construction part and pipelines located on the top part of the wharf connected the adjacent sections together and had significant effect on dynamic behaviour, especially in the longitudinal direction.…”

Abstract. The task of technical and economic regulation within mutual international recognition of testing laboratories are considered. Codes and procedures within requirements of international ISO/IEC standards of a series 17000 for elimination of non-tariff barriers and interlaboratory exchange of experts in the field of high-rise marine construction are considered. In paper, the methods of assessment of formation of economically justified cost of works at inspection and monitoring of technical condition of high-rise marine wharf engineering port structure based on settlement and actual labor input were applied. For the countries of EU, data on the average cost of works of testing laboratory within a week have been taken as a basis. Such approach will be objective as considers only expenses on obligatory actions in the course of inspection of technical condition of port engineering constructions. The analysis of public results of financial activities of the accredited organizations allowed to calculate the main indicators of the size of necessary profit and overheads at observance of all requirements imposed to test laboratories including taking into account their future technical development. The offered practice corresponds to the general direction by mutual international recognition of independent testing laboratories and can be use in the future.

“…Lee et al [7] studied damage detection based on optimization method for caisson structure. Boroschek et al [8] identified modal parameters through experimental tests on wharf structures using microvibration signals produced by tides, wind, wave and microtremors. However, despite these attempts, there still exist needs to identify the variations of vibration properties due to changing environmental conditions.…”

This study presents vibration-based structural health monitoring method in foundation-structure interface of harbor caisson structure. In order to achieve the objective, the following approaches are implemented. Firstly, vibration-based response analysis method is selected and structural health monitoring (SHM) technique is designed for harbor caisson structure. Secondly, the performance of designed SHM technique for harbor structure is examined by FE analysis. Finally, the applicability of designed SHM technique for harbor structure is evaluated by dynamic tests on a lab-scaled caisson structure.

“…• an underestimation of the vertical load-bearing capacity of the MS, as in reinforced concrete bridges when barriers, sidewalks or diaphragms are excluded from the model [3], or in masonry bridges when fill material and pavement are neglected [4], or in metal roof deck diaphragms of building structures when non-structural roofing components are omitted [5]; • an underestimation of the horizontal load-bearing capacity of the MS, or an inaccurate estimation of its expected response under code-conforming seismic [6] or wind [7] loads, as in moment resisting frame structures where masonry infills are excluded from the model; • a bias in the outcome of vibration-based model calibration, as for a variety of non-structural and secondary structural elements in bridges (barriers, sidewalks and pavement [8], transverse bracings [9]), in footbridges (deck and handrails [10,11], asphalt pavement [12]), in buildings (cladding and internal partitions [13], stairs and elevators [14]), in wharves (non-structural steel frames and piping systems [15]), and in stadia (precast seating deck units [16]). …”
