Abstract

The durability and useful life concepts of the structures appear with the evidence of concrete structures deterioration and the consequent advance in these processes domain. Some knowledge did generated and others researches are still in progress, among them the structural health monitoring. In begin it toward of purpose great structures for the economic and social importance of that. Some devices and methodologies had been developed for this, but it was a little advanced in the buildings health monitoring. The present work intends to develop a tecno-scientific methodology to buildings structures behavior monitoring of its structural security viewpoint and of its durability viewpoint. For such it intends to know and to adapt the currently existing devices and to consider new in case that if it makes necessary, defining the places and methods of application and surveying the results for a necessary interpretation of the information acquired for the sensors.
