Monitoring
of the structure and warning on overloading
Structural
behaviors will be monitored continuously to check for movement,
deflection, and vibration of the structure as overall, or only
for some specific part, also forces occurring inside
structural members. Monitoring will be done by using the automatic
electronic device to automatically collect the data, do preliminary
engineering calculations, and compare the data.
The device can be set to provide a warning when it detects
that value of the specific parameter has exceeded the safety
limit, such as warning in the case of overloading (prompt
removing of an excessive load from the area).
Data from monitoring will provide a clue on future structural
failure, insufficient load carrying capacity, insufficient
strength or rigidity of the structure, and deterioration rate
of the structure.
Corrosion Monitoring
This is done to monitor corrosion of internal steel
reinforcement so that evaluation on condition and safety of
the structure is possible. It also helps in planning for repair
of the damage done to the structure by corrosion. Monitoring
may be done periodically or continuously by using electronic
devices.

of sensors at different locations and flowing of data from
sensors to the device installed to the structure.
