description An event of sensor faults in sensor networks deployed in structures might result in the degradation of the structural health monitoring system and lead to difficulties in structural condition assessment. Reconstruction techniques of the data for missing sensor channels were widely adopted to restore a dataset from all sensor channels. In this study, a recurrent neural network (RNN) model combined with external feedback is proposed to enhance the accuracy and effectiveness of sensor data reconstruction for measuring the dynamic responses of structures. The model utilizes spatial correlation rather than spatiotemporal correlation by explicitly feeding the previously reconstructed time series of defective sensor channels back to the input dataset. Because of the nature of spatial correlation, the proposed method generates robust and precise results regardless of the hyperparameters set in the RNN model. To verify the performance of the proposed method, simple RNN, long short-term memory, and gated recurrent unit models were trained using the acceleration datasets obtained from laboratory-scaled three- and six-story shear building frames.
