Significance of the study Damage in structures especially cracks can cause the construction to collapse if not detected in time. This is proved by the results of studies of accidents that have occurred in important projects such as offshore rigs. However it is difficult to determine the position and the extent of a crack in a structure because the crack usually stays in the structures that the naked eye cannot detect. Therefore to diagnose cracks people often use non-destructive testing methods. One of these methods which is comprehensive and applicable to complex construction is based on measuring the oscillation parameters of a building to determine the position and extent of the damage in construction. The oscillation parameters commonly used in structural failure diagnosis are specific frequencies and patterns of oscillations or frequency response functions. These parameters are characteristics which are quite comprehensive for the technical condition of a building without depending on external stimuli. However identifying these characteristics from measurement data often understood as
