Abstract

There is a phenomenal rise in construction activities in the field of civil engineering in the recent years.
Major structures like buildings, bridges, dams are subjected to severe loading and their performance is likely to change
with time. It is, therefore, necessary to check the performance of a structure through continuous monitoring. There are
different types of sensors which can be used for SHM. The use of sensors in the structure will help to overcome the
problems such as vibration, deflection, settlement, cracks etc. This paper aims to focus on seismic vulnerability
assessment of the building by structural health monitoring. The Dynamic analysis of RC Industrial Building by using
STAAD.Pro Software. Then the installation of MEMS Accelerometer sensor on the actual building & obtaining the data.
Then the comparison of variations of both the Analytical & Field Data & finding out the approximate Solutions.
