Abstract
A building integrity assessment system includes: an earthquake detector including: a building bottom sensor at a bottom of a building and that detects acceleration and an earthquake early-warning receiver that receives an earthquake early warning; a cloud computer; and sensors disposed at a plurality of positions in the building and that measures an influence of an earthquake on the building at each of the positions and wirelessly transmits measurement results to the cloud computer. The cloud computer estimates and evaluates the integrity of the building based on the measurement results. In response to the building bottom sensor detecting preliminary tremors or the earthquake early-warning receiver receiving the earthquake early warning, the plurality of sensors measures the influence of the earthquake on the building from a time before a major motion arrives at the building to a time after the arrival.
