New Directions of Health Monitoring for Building Structures

Article Preview

Abstract:

The concept of structural health monitoring (SHM) has appealed the attentions of structural engineers. However, most of the proposed schemes for SHM do not seem “friendly” to the practicing engineers in terms of the used data or employed methods. In this regard, the direct sensing of inter-story drift displacements could open the door to the construction of “practicing engineers friendly” SHM schemes. The authors‘ group developed non-contact types of inter-story drift displacement sensors. Several schemes based on the drift displacement sensing are discussed, which do not involve heavy researchers-oriented processes.
