Vibration-based structural health monitoring (SHM) provides a primary tool for evaluating structural condition, integrity and reliability as well as for assessing potential risks throughout the lifecycle of structures. The objective of this research is to propose an integrated sensing and decision-making system for SHM of tall buildings (see Figure 1). This research addresses challenges related to computational modeling, vibration sensor optimal deployment, model updating and data analytics including mining, identification, uncertainty quantification, etc. A continuous monitoring system can build a temporal database for the building and detect possible damage due to structural deterioration or extreme events at an early stage.
