This paper aims to develop a wireless unified-maintenance system(WUMS) to obtain real-time structural response of civil structures. The WUMS integrates the GPS module, the strain module and the acceleration module based on the standalone controller, and includes the RF module for remote measurement and the battery for long term operation. In order to evaluate the performance of the WUMS, a response test using a modal shaker and a modal test using a model bridge were performed. The test results using USMS were compared with those measured by wired system. Finally, the developed WUMS was appropriate to obtain the structural response of the civil structure in real-time, unified, and wirelessly.
