| Summary: | Advances in construction technology result in increased complexity and multi-functionality of modern buildings and structures. This is especially true for unique structures with large spans and heights. Based on the current standards, such structures must be monitored as well as the stress-strain state (SSS) of supporting structures. In addition, the SSS must be continuously checked during operation. Indeed, facilities of higher complexity are more prone to errors or discrepancies, which can reduce the reliability of some structures as well as the whole system. This can be caused by human factor, variability of external and internal forces and impacts, specifics of erection and installation, and many other reasons. Therefore, unique buildings and structures must be built with monitoring systems or operated under routine inspection. This way we can determine if the behavior of the erected structure complies with the standards and regulations.
