A source-led history of structural dynamic research and how it led to the development of STRAAM techniques and technology.
Read insight
A baseline dynamic signature records how a structure responds before monitoring begins. Repeated measurements can then help engineers identify changes that warrant investigation.

Florida’s milestone-inspection law sets a defined process for many condominium and cooperative buildings. Here is what it requires, where additional testing may fit, and how STRAAM’s recommendations differ from the law.
Read insight
The 1980 USBM RI 8507 report studied blast vibration and residential houses. Its own scope notes matter when choosing monitoring methods for other building types and construction conditions.
Read insight
STRAAM’s Gen 5 overview describes a platform that combines short-duration structural dynamic assessment with continuous monitoring, cloud reporting, and alerting for buildings, bridges, and dams.
Read insight
Structural commissioning can connect design intent to measured performance, then carry useful feedback forward to owners, designers, and builders throughout an asset’s life.
Read insight
Catastrophe models estimate the hazard. Building-performance data adds another layer: evidence of how an individual structure actually behaves before and after an event.
Read insight
Structural commissioning connects intended performance, measured verification, and a baseline that remains useful after handover.
