Structural Monitoring Systems A Must Have
  • Structural monitoring systems are used for real
    time monitoring and detection of a structure.
    This technology is equipped with facilities like
    communication and analysis, data recording,
    maintenance, client software and an analysis
    engine for daily operations also. With the health
    of a structural monitoring system you can
    identify the area of damage early and thus the
    interruptions cause in business due to the same
    can also be reduced. The structural systems are
    cost friendly and the best advantage being that
    they can easily detect any potential threat in
    any kind of a building. These systems come with
    strain gauges which are available in two types
    first is the wireless ones and the other wired
    ones. The disadvantage of the wire free ones is
    that they have only a limited range and have a
    higher price than the wired ones.

  • It is always advisable to have structural health
    monitoring systems. The reason being that in
    times of improper inspection of mega structures
    like tunnels, sky scrappers, historical
    monuments, bridges and railways, there could be
    problems when there is a requirement of emergency
    repair. Even the strength of these structures is
    affected by natural calamities like floods,
    earthquakes, age and changes in design also. With
    proper Structural monitoring systems, you can
    easily find out the flaws in the structure,
    warnings about and damage and take immediate
    steps to rectify the damage, thus saving the
    structure from deteriorating even more as well as
    saving on the money spent due to immediate action
    on the problem.
  • These systems also help in reducing the premiums
    of insurance on structures like tunnels, bridges,
    railways and more. The main advantages of
    structural health monitoring systems include
  • Effective allocation of the resources those are
    scanty,

  • Management of strategies and rational maintenance
    development
  • Reduction in repair and inspection time
  • Structural strength and service Guarantee
  • The structural behavior in-situ is increased
    also.
  • The structural monitoring systems come with
    sensors which are either attached or are inbuilt
    in the structure also. The task of the these
    sensors is collecting data including moisture
    levels, loads, temperature, strain or stress,
    etc. and pass on these details to the system
    known as Data acquisition systems. After
    collection the sampling takes place and from
    there the date is sent for further automated
    intelligent processing to some off site location,
    so that the site visits could be reduced or
    rather avoided. Then, a physical analysis is
    carried out which is then used for making
    engineering decisions based on knowledge.
  • For intelligent structures which are highly safe
    and secure and cost friendly to maintain and
    insure the Structural health management systems
    are highly recommended.
