Abstract. In this paper, the analysis of the structural integrity of a building by complex wavelets is performed. Complex wavelet provides desirable properties to fault identification like shift invariance and good directional selectivity. In order to perform numerical experiments, mathematical modeling of a building of two walks is performed. The database is built through simulations of different situations: base-line condition and improper conditions. Simulation results showed that complex wavelets achieved good performance in the problem studied.
