Author: Brian Lander, Viewpoint Systems, Inc, Dan Fridline; Manager of Engineering; STRAAM Corporation; Jim Campbell; President; Viewpoint Systems, Inc

Challenge: Assessing the structural health of the LIRR Railroad Viaduct by creating ambient excitation, measuring the structure’s vibration modes, and comparing them against nominal levels and behaviors.

Solution: Taking continuous measurements to provide the modal analysis with vibration data generated from ambient excitation, then using a measurement system to capture and analyze important events.
