Abstract
Analyzing monitoring data efficiently is a classic problem in structural health monitoring. A nonparametric test method, the Mann–Kendall (MK) method, was implemented in this study, which is commonly used to detect monotonic trends in a series of environmental data. Using the MK method, three types of time series were studied: the stress time series measured in the concrete prism compression test, the resultant force time series obtained from the pseudostatic test of a reinforced masonry shear wall, and the translation velocity time series detected in a high-rise building. The statistics calculated, as well as the intersections of curves, indicate the trend change in the time series. The results demonstrated that the MK method could efficiently analyze the trend in the engineering time series.
