Abstract

In the present study an innovative video processing methodology is proposed for application to vibration data of historic masonry structures. The proposed methodology is based on graph theory and topology analysis applied to magnified videos in search of effective parameters for early-warning signals before the collapse of structures in case of earthquakes. The proposed method was validated through seismic tests of a brick-masonry mockup representing a vault of the mosque in the Palace of the Dey, Algiers. In particular, the seismic tests were carried out at increasing earthquake intensity up to the final collapse of the mockup. After processing the videos of the seismic tests by motion magnification method, the magnified video frames were transformed into a graph of the structure. Finally, several graph indices were calculated and monitored during the vibration. The monitored parameters were analyzed in search of potential threshold values suitable to generate an early warning signal. In particular, the inverse algebraic connectivity provided an early warning signal in the order of a few seconds before collapse. This was validated by comparison with an analogous signal provided at similar time by an accurate displacement lab measurements system based on optical markers positioned at several points of the tested mock-up.
