Real-Time Damage Detection and Performance Evaluation for Buildings

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Earthquakes and Health Monitoring of Civil Structures

Part of the book series: Springer Environmental Science and Engineering ((SPRINGERENVIRON))

Abstract

Real-time structural health monitoring is not a promise. It is an existing technology that has been deployed and advanced successfully s on many buildings, bridges, and other types of structures. In this chapter we examine the possible advantages as well as implementation schemes for a system which can provide real-time performance and damage information for buildings and other types of structures.
