NCSU TIE: Wireless Sensor Networks for Structural Health Monitoring of Buildings and Bridges

桥梁和混凝土结构容易老化和过时，可能被认为是基础设施中最脆弱的部分，因为它们失去服务的状况对使用者和道路所有者和经营者都造成了巨大的成本损失。因此，特别注意的是保持它们处于可使用的状态。本研究旨在提高桥梁及其他类似结构的结构健康监测水平。本研究分为两部分。第一部分涉及传感/数据解释，第二部分涉及将数据从传感器传输到解释发生的位置。该项目将第一部分由工业/大学合作研究中心（I/UCRC）提供的建筑桥梁和复合材料修复专业知识与I/UCRC提供的高级计算和通信网络专业知识结合在一起。

Bridges and concrete structures are subject to ageing and obsolescence and may be considered as the most vulnerable elements of the infrastructure as their condition of out-of-service causes great losses in terms of costs, both for the users and for road owners and operators. Special attention is therefore focused on maintaining them in a serviceable condition. This research is directed toward bettering the state-of-the-art in structural health monitoring of bridges and other similar structure. The research is broad in two parts. The first part addresses sensing/data interpretation, the second part addresses the transfer of data from sensors to the location where interpretation occurs. This project ties together the expertise in the first part provided by the Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC) for the Repair of Buildings Bridges and Composites and the networking expertise provided by the I/UCRC for Advanced Computing and Communication.
