Abstract :
Ubiquitous structural monitoring (USM) of buildings using wireless sensor networks is one of the most promising emerging technologies for mitigation of seismic hazard. This technology has the potential to change fundamentally the traditional monitoring systems. This paper provides an introduction of wireless sensor network technology for USM, and identifies some of opportunities and associated challenges
