New measurement technology for diagnostic evaluation of stress and deformation states in building objects

Abstract

This paper presents a new wireless measurement method for static and dynamic examination of buildings, bridges, masts, towers, steel structures, silos etc. by using new generation telemetric modules operating in intelligent radio network. The system provides a possibility of steel and reinforced concrete structures evaluation by measurement of mechanical stresses, deformation and temperature - depending on used sensor. Developed and built prototype system can be used for the on line monitoring, quality assessment and the usefulness of the building objects over long time periods.
