Introduction

Structural health monitoring (SHM) refers to the process of developing and implementing a damage identification strategy for structural applications in civil, aerospace, and mechanical domains (Farrar and Worden 2007). Structural health monitoring techniques play a vital role in earthquake engineering, because they can be used to monitor the performance of structures that have been subjected to earthquakes. This is established through the use of a combination of strategically placed array of sensors and a variety of mathematical methods and techniques, all of which constitute the overall structural health monitoring system.

An ideal SHM system allows rapid assessment of structure, which is particularly relevant in the aftermath of an earthquake, and supports decisions regarding repairs and replacements that are necessary for maintenance, rehabilitation, and...
