This paper presents a study of system identification on the tilt response of the L-type retaining wall located at Tanhyun 11th ACE Apartment, Ilsan in order to understand mechanism how the structure behaves in operational conditions and to provide a reference tilt values for assessing structural abnormality. The retaining wall was extraordinarily tall (14m) in urban area so the long-term monitoring system had been installed with 3 tilts-meters and 9 temperature sensors operational from Oct 2004 upto Nov 2007. By using 5-months continuous data in which all the 12 channels were up and running, the state-space equation (SSE) model has been identified by finding the best fitness model among all possible 511 combinations of input temperatures out of the 9 temperatures. The SSE model achieved the validation fitness of 90% which was quite accurate considering various unexpected noises often found in field measurements.
