The benefits of tracking, identifying, measuring features of interest from structure responses have endless applications for saving cost, time and improving safety. To date, structural health monitoring (SHM) has been extensively applied in several fields, such as aerospace, automotive, and mechanical engineering. However, the focus of this paper is to provide a comprehensive upto-date review of civil engineering structures such as buildings, bridges, and other infrastructures. For this reason, this article commences with a concise introduction to the fundamental definitions of SHM. The next section presents the general concepts and factors that determine the best strategy to be employed for SHM. Afterward, a thorough review of the most prevalent anomaly detection approaches, from classic techniques to advanced methods, is presented. Subsequently, some popular benchmarks, including laboratory specimens and real structures for validating the proposed methodologies, are demonstrated and discussed. Finally, the advantages and disadvantages of each method are summarized, which can be helpful in future studies.
In this paper, a supervised learning approach is introduced for detecting both damage and deterioration in two building models under ambient and forced vibrations. The coefficients and residuals of autoregressive (AR) time-series models are utilized for extracting features through some statistical indices. Moreover, a novel algorithm called best-uncorrelated features selection (BUFS) is proposed and utilized in order to select the most sensitive and uncorrelated features, which are used as predictors. Accordingly, a common set of predictors capable of detecting both damage and deterioration is established and used in order to form a general pattern of the structural condition. Besides, the BUFS algorithm can also be utilized with other features as well as different types of structures and depicts the most sensitive predictors. The results indicate that the proposed method is capable of detecting damage and deterioration in both models precisely, even in a noisy environment, and the appropriate features are introduced.
