Abstract :
This paper introduces a kind of new idea for Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) using Smart Phones Technique in civil engineering. Smart phone, with embedded responding SHM software and inter sensors or outer sensors board, may be used not only as a single wireless sensor node but also as a mini-SHM system. The research is preliminary and more tests need to be carried out before it can be of practical use. The realization of mobile SHM system using smart phone can be considered as a milestone in making structural health monitoring popular in the life of people.
