• Historical monuments
• Heritage buildings
• Arenas
• Stadiums
• High rise buildings
• Residential/Commercial buildings

  What does structural health monitoring of buildings mean? Structural health monitoring of a building is to monitor its structural performance using different kinds of sensors attached to evaluate its integrity and safety and help the officials and engineers decide on rehabilitation measures.   What are its features and benefits?

1. Confirm design assumptions
2. Accurate analysis from incoming sensor data
3. Non-invasive sensor technology
4. Know building’s current health
5. Extend the life of ageing buildings
6. Detect early signs of damage/failure
7. A comprehensive monitoring solution for buildings
8. Contextual insights for timely decision making

  The most widely used sensors for structural health monitoring of buildings: –

1. Vibrational sensors for structural health, behaviour and modal analysis
2. Strain sensors
3. Displacement sensors to identify joints, cracks and differential settlements of foundations
4. Sensors for humidity, temperature, wind speed and direction.
