ABSTRACT = {A dynamic simulation method for cracked structures is implemented to
determine their dynamic response with the purpose of evaluating their structural
behavior. The procedure makes possible the simulation of three-dimensional
cracked structures. The excitation force is randomly generated to simulate wind
gusts. It is assumed the structure remains in the elastic range, which allows for
each mode that contributes to its dynamic response to be decoupled. The results
indicate that the presence of damage causes changes in the modals parameters of
the structure as accurate as other similar methods proposed for simpler structures.
Therefore, it is concluded that the proposed method is a reliable way to evaluate
the dynamic behavior of three-dimensional cracked building structures.},
