Abstract

Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) helps to reduce the danger of collapses of structures and life threatening incidents and is reliable. This project developed a structural health monitoring system of bridges which utilizes the use of microcontrollers, wireless communication, transducer, sensors and cellular transmission that allows remote monitoring. Wireless sensors are low-cost data acquisition nodes that co-locate communication and computing functionality with the sensors. These sensors include strain gauge, water level sensor, anemometer, vibration sensor etc. Data acquired from the sensor is transferred through wireless network to destination. The processing of sensors consumes less power. The stability and usability of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is validated due to merits as such low cost, easy installation, and effective data management.
