AB  - Existing reinforced concrete buildings have experienced different forms of failures due to limitations
in analysing and interpreting the information derived from the study of their behaviour under loading. Structural
Health Monitoring (SHM) which is the study of the way structures relate with different loading conditions
using equipment and machine that can read data without affecting the existence of the structure has been
analysed in times past using different methods and there is need to bring in probabilistic methods in terms of
reliability-based paradigm, i.e., reliability theory to analyse and interpret SHM data. Reliability method expresses
logical handling of structural design uncertainties in the assessment of the structures safety and serviceability,
it provides a very powerful tool for SHM to add probabilistic structural evaluation function that current SHM
applications and statistical analysis packages do not have. This review study looks into different ways SHM
data have been analysed and the need to introduce probabilistic approach to SHM.
