Structural health monitoring (SHM) uses sensors and data analysis techniques to monitor structures for damage or changes over time. The document discusses using an Internet of Things approach for SHM, extracting structural features from sensor measurements. It then defines SHM as monitoring engineering structures over time using sensor data to determine the current health state. The proposed system would recognize earthquake vibrations, detect damage from earthquakes or rain, and reduce power consumption in buildings depending on occupancy. It uses different sensor modules connected wirelessly to monitor vibrations, damage, and power use.
