Ambient vibration testing is a fast and low cost method to assess the dynamic properties of buildings; its popularity has grown in recent years owing to technological advances in sensing techniques, instrumentation and efficient commercial software development for modal data extraction. Based on in-field ambient vibration measurements made with sensors located on building floors, seismic vulnerability evaluation of buildings can be performed. The process makes use of a new three-dimensional seismic assessment method (3D-SAM). This method can be employed for the evaluation of global seismic demand parameters which are directly derived from the experimental modal properties. Examples that validate and illustrate the method are presented in this paper. These case studies are buildings used as community centres and they have been designated as post-critical shelters in the city of Montréal (Québec, Canada). Implementing the 3D-SAM method for seismic vulnerability assessment of buildings is aligned with the purpose of using state-of-the-art interdisciplinary technologies to further facilitate and advance the structural engineering science.
