This report summarizes the results of ambient vibration tests of the Berkeley Civic Center, in Berkeley, California during October 1995. Field measurements were recorded and analyzed to obtain natural vibration modes and frequencies of the building. These modal values would be useful in evaluating the seismic behavior of the building.
