碩士 === 中國文化大學 === 建築及都市計畫研究所 === 91 === For the past decades the development of intelligent building has been concentrated at areas of building equipment automation and facilities management. At what we call the information age, structural health monitoring and diagnosis technology are being implemented for application in civil structures, such us bridges, tunnels, dams, high-rise buildings, and historical monuments. For this reason, a fully functional intelligent building should be able to actively show or alarm its own structural health as the human being''s bone framework of body when it gets hurt in order to let the building management quickly respond to critical conditions and maximize the safety of the building. From this point of view, a reliable health monitoring system, designed to monitor the damage and structural condition of a building during its life stages, will be a very useful tool. This study emphasizes on two issues, building structural health monitoring and application of monitoring data. This dissertation first reviews the development of the health monitoring system through document study, and analyzes the functions of monitoring instruments when they are applied in structural health monitoring during construction and maintenance stages. Then, it defines structural health monitoring and related parameters. Next, according to specifications and construction experiential formulas the evaluation of safety management values and monitoring frequency for all types of monitoring instruments are proposed. The monitoring data can be applied in the building automation system of the intelligent building to connect the light control and home security systems. Therefore, an efficient management by the central monitoring control can be performed. Finally, the monitoring instruments were installed on specific locations of a small-scale three-story structural steel model. The model was servo driver excited by simple harmonic oscillation and the parameters such us strain, position, acceleration, inclination data were measured. This study shows that the monitoring instruments are effective in structural health monitoring and could be widely used in the near future.
