Data-driven methods in structural health monitoring (SHM) is gaining popularity due to recent technological advancements in sensors, as well as high-speed internet and cloud-based computation. Since the introduction of deep learning (DL) in civil engineering, particularly in SHM, this emerging and promising tool has attracted significant attention among researchers. The main goal of this paper is to review the latest publications in SHM using emerging DL-based methods and provide readers with an overall understanding of various SHM applications. After a brief introduction, an overview of various DL methods (e.g., deep neural networks, transfer learning, etc.) is presented. The procedure and application of vibration-based, vision-based monitoring, along with some of the recent technologies used for SHM, such as sensors, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), etc. are discussed. The review concludes with prospects and potential limitations of DL-based methods in SHM applications.

A novel structural health monitoring system to detect damages in structures under varying operational and environmental conditions is presented in this paper. A noncontact, full-field measurement using a high speed camera offers a convenient and less expensive measurement procedure, enabling the measuring of responses in elevated temperatures and in conditions where contact sensors are unable to be used. In this paper, a combination of Decay lines of the Wavelet Transform Modulus Maxima (WTMM) and Holder Exponent (HE) are used to distinguish changes on the time response of a vibrating structure due to the operational and environmental variations to changes due to the presence of damage, thus minimising the possibility of false alarm. The proposed methodology is demonstrated using a 3-DOF system under conditions of varying and constant temperatures with the presence of damage, as well as using an experimental setup of a cantilever beam under intact and damaged conditions.
