IoT based crack detection and protection for dams

The cracks present on concrete structures such as dams have be detected at an early stage in order to prevent the further damage that is likely to occur. At regular intervals these concrete structures have to be inspected in order to assure their quality. The main objective of the project that we have undertaken is to determine the major cracks produced by the environmental changes such as flooding, man made errors and thereby generating an alarm to alert the concerned authorities, in this way we will determine the cracks and finally protect the dams. By using the microcontrollers and sensors we determine the cracks present on the structures and other leakage that may occur. This is an embedded system which is able to closely monitor the parameters of the dam on regular basis and this model is fully automated and keeps the track of the dam parameters on a regular basis. Authorities are indicated for changes in actuator state there by giving an option for manual override. This project will also provide user-friendly interface panel therefore the unskilled workers can also use this model with great ease.
