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陈旧，可被认为是基础设施中最脆弱的部分，因为它们的服务状况对使用者以及道路所有者和经营者造成了巨大的成本损失。因此，特别注意将它们保持在可使用的状态。这项研究旨在改善桥梁和其他类似结构的结构健康监测的最新水平。这项研究分为两个部分。第一部分涉及传感/数据解释，第二部分涉及从传感器到发生解释的位置的数据传输。该项目将工业/大学合作研究中心(工业/大学合作研究中心)第一部分提供的维修建筑物、桥梁和复合材料的专门知识与工业/大学合作研究中心为先进计算和通信提供的联网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.
