Abstract: Structural health monitoring(SHM) is a non-destructive in-situ structural sensing and evaluation method that uses a variety of sensors attached to, or embedded in, a structure to monitor the structural response, analyze the structural characteristics for the purpose of estimating the severity of damage/deterioration and evaluating the consequences thereof on the structure in terms of response, capacity, and service-life. Various sensors and other technologies and devices obtain data that will be centralized, transmitted, processed and interpreted to continuously determine the health of the construction. SHM includes such tools, methodologies and techniques traditionally called Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) and Non-Destructive Evaluation (NDE). However, there are differences between the three concepts, on the one hand NDT, NDE and SHM on the other hand, so: NDT/NDE normally refers to a one-time assessment of the condition of materials at a single point and the effect or extent of the deterioration in the structure using equipment external to the structure. SHM normally refers to activities focused on assessing the condition of the structure or its key components based on response to various types of loads. It generally involves on-going or repeated assessment of this response.
