Use of IoT for Structural Health Monitoring of Bridge Prototype Using Force Sensitive Resistor

Abstract

As the world is becoming more and more technologically advanced. It’s time for integrating tomorrows tech into today’s construction world. IoT being one of the latest and useful concept emerging in electronics and IT field is tried to integrate into construction field. In this paper the author has proposed the use of IoT based continuous feedback model in which compression sensors are placed around the structure mainly bridge to monitor the effect of loading on it. Author also has proposed a prototype which can be used to demonstrate the ways in which this modular device can monitor the structural health assessment. Author has tried to develop high performance, low power usage and efficient system to build IoT platform. This being said is done as a step to assess SHM, live in-situ loading assessment, and much more.
