Testing walking-induced vibration of floors using smartphones recordings
Smartphone technology is rapidly evolving, adding sensors of growing accuracy and precision. Structural engineers are among customers who indirectly benefit from such technological advances. This paper tests whether accelerometers installed in new generations of smartphones can reach the accuracy of professional accelerometers created for vibration monitoring of civil engineering structures, and how they can be useful. The paper describes an experimental study designed to measure walking-induced vibrations of a slender prefabricated prestressed concrete slab. Both traditional, high-accuracy, accelerometers and those integrated into commercial smartphones were used for experimental data collection. Direct comparison of the recordings yielded two key findings: the accuracy of smartphone accelerometers largely depends on the specific smartphone model, and nevertheless is satisfactory for preliminary modal testing at the very least. Furthermore, the smartphone measured accelerations of the lower back were used successfully to indirectly measure pedestrian walking loads.
