Historic monuments and buildings are critical cultural assets which cannot be presented by again by human beings. Longer affected by natural climate, environment and biological behavior (including human), resulting in damage and the need for repair. Therefore, UNESCO proposed periodic reporting and reactive monitoring in 2007, in order to achieve “early detection, early repair”. This study discusses about suitable preservation monitoring methods for Taiwan. To shed light on damage and impact factors of historical buildings and cultural relics, the study is based on impact and sensor, monitoring method, monitoring period and maintenance personnel in order to propose standard operating procedures of monitoring method. <br><br> To reduce the rate of the human and sensor monitoring, with the long-term monitoring data analysis, it is calculated that 30 minutes is the best period of data collecting. Besides, the study is adopted regression analysis to select temperature variable only then calculate humidity variable function. <br><br> This study provides a reference monitoring method for monitoring personnel and maintenance personnel, and establishes a long-term monitoring data based information for damage and destroy in the future. Monitoring period and maintenance personnel can follow the data based to find out the damage points and problems, to keep the value of cultural assets.

<p>Along with building slender and longer span structures, vibration serviceability becomes more important considerations in bridge design and maintenance. In this study, vibration serviceability and deflection limit for long span cable bridges are investigated using long-term monitoring data such as accelerations and displacements of bridges. Exampled bridges are Yi Sun-Sin Grand Bridge (suspension bridge, main span length=1,545m) and 2<sup>nd</sup> Jindo Grand Bridge (cable stayed bridge, main span length=344m). Long-term data are analyzed and compared with various design codes, guidelines, and other research results. Probability of exceedance are calculated for each criterion. Regarding on deflection limits, Korean Bridge Design Code (Limit State Design) specifies L/400 and L/350 for cable stayed and suspension bridges, respectively. Saadeghvaziri suggested deflection limit based on natural frequency, acceleration limit of 0.5 m/s² and vehicle speed. Various human comfort criteria on vibration are also applied including ISO standards. The results of this study are expected to be useful reference for the design, the proper planning and deflection review of the long span cable bridges around the world. Further researches are required to find the optimum deflection or vibration criteria for long span bridge and their effects on bridge clearance and elevation.</p>

<p>Vibration serviceability becomes more important considerations in design and maintenance, especially for slender and flexible structures such as long span cable bridges. In this study, various evaluation methods for vibration serviceability for long span cable bridges are proposed. These methods are based on short and long-term monitoring data such as accelerations and displacements of bridges. Proposed methods include (1) method of evaluating vibration amplitude based on Reiher-Meister curves, (2) method of evaluating variations in natural frequencies and damping ratio,</p><p>(3) method of weighted rms(root-mean-square) acceleration based on ISO 2631-1, and (4) probabilistic analysis using long-term monitoring data. These methods are applied to example cable bridge and cases of normal traffic, heavy traffic, windy condition and sudden abnormal vibration are considered. The results of this study are expected to be implemented to real bridge monitoring system for real-time and periodic evaluation of vibration serviceability.</p>
