Sistema de hardware e software para monitoramento estrutural de edificações.

Abstract

The structural monitoring (Structural Health Monitoring - SHM) is done with the objective of maintaining the safety reliability of the construction during its use, and to identify in advance possible problems that damage the structures. In general, a conventional dynamic SHM is composed of accelerometers, signal acquisition systems and visualization software. However, these solutions have a high cost, especially with regard to the hardware that makes up a SHM, which makes it difficult to popularize this type of monitoring. In this work, a hardware-software solution for structural monitoring was developed, whose acceleration data is collected from an accelerometer, processed on a NodeMCU card, transmitted wirelessly, to a server that displays the monitoring data on a Dashboard. The solution was evaluated based on the proper functioning of the acquisition, processing, transmission and exhibition modules. The system was introduced to Civil Engineering professors at the Federal University of Campina Grande, who reported the high potential of the solution for use in projects with real buildings.
