ABSTRACT
The current practice of structural health monitoring is based mainly on periodic visual inspections or condition surveys but, during the last decade, software and hardware developments made continuous monitoring possible, Chang et al. (2003). Typically, one can install hundreds of sensors in a structure and read the data in real time. Therefore, the present focus of interest is what type of information is important from the structural point of view and how should the data be processed and stored for damage analysis, Londoño (2006)?
