Since there is not much research on structural health monitoring (SHM) applications in tall buildings nowadays, this paper gives a proposal of how it can be applied on skyscrapers. Covering the whole process of SHM, this paper focuses more on the diagnostic algorithms, including Structural dynamic index method, Modal parameter identification method Neural network algorithm and Genetic algorithm and how these algorithms can be used in SHM. After introducing the basic process of SHM, an example is given to show how these principles can be applied in this over 400m building. And after all these introductions, a conclusion can be drawn that the structural health monitoring system can be applied properly in tall buildings following the way proposed in this paper.
