Abstract

Historical ancient buildings carry profound cultural heritage value. To better preserve this cultural heritage, structural health monitoring (SHM) of ancient buildings constitutes an essential preventive conservation measure. Currently, SHM technology for ancient buildings in China remains immature, relevant technical standards are incomplete, and a comprehensive SHM standard system for ancient buildings has yet to be established. To promote the advancement of SHM technology for ancient buildings in China, this paper systematically reviews the research progress, existing problems, relevant standards, and development prospects in this field. Firstly, the current status of monitoring during the renovation and reinforcement of ancient buildings is summarized. Secondly, an analysis is conducted on the monitoring methods and relevant standards associated with existing SHM technologies for ancient buildings. Finally, the development trajectory of SHM technology for ancient buildings is reviewed, and future development trends are projected, aiming to provide new insights and approaches for the advancement of ancient building SHM.
