Structural monitoring system

A method for measuring the structural integrity of a structure after a natural disaster affecting the structure comprising:

• each day, on one or multiple occasions, obtaining and recording data acquired from a LIDAR sensor positioned on the structure to measure distance data between two or more points, a gyro sensor, an accelerometer positioned on the structure to measure vibration data in the structure, a temperature sensor, a smoke sensor, an infrared sensor, and a gas sensor, with a monitoring unit in communication with each of the sensors and comprising a computer device;
• analyzing and calculating an average value for each of the acquired sensor data with the computer device by dividing a total sum of measured data values by a number of data points;
• storing the average data value in a memory component of the computer device;
• checking and comparing new average values with previous values to determine variations between the new average values and the previous values from the same sensor using the computer device;
• and
• providing a determination of risk assessment by categorizing the variation between the new average values and the previous values and identifying if a sensor value is within or without a pre-determined default value range, wherein if all variation between the new average values and the previous values are within the default value range, the system stores the new average values, and continues obtaining and recording data from the sensors, and wherein if a variation is outside of the default value range it triggers pre-set commands to execute and perform additional operations to determine changes in the structure that affect structural integrity.
