ENVIRA IoT develops projects to study the mechanical and physicochemical damage that can affect the integrity and preservation of the structures, with the purpose of diagnosing if maintenance or reinforcement is needed to avoid or postpone degradation.
The monitoring of structural health in buildings is a method based on sensors that collect data, which are later processed and interpreted. The purpose of this is to acquire a deep understanding of the conditions and the state of the structure, and to conduct preventive or corrective maintenance actions that will improve the safety of the building and guarantee its preservation.
Mechanical damage monitoring
Sensors are placed at strategic points along a structure to monitor mechanical damage generated as a result of earthquakes, unpredictable events or their normal use. Mechanical damage has its origin in external or internal structural, constructive forces or in use.
The monitoring system, based on IoT technology, is conducted over very short periods of time, thus providing real-time information to make the decision making quicker and more immediate.
Taking into account present and/or future damages that can be a hazard for the stability of the buildings or harm their users, sensors are set up in the relevant points to:
Physicochemical damage monitoring
One of the most common forms of physical damage in buildings is the appearance of humidity. Regarding chemical damage, the most known and visually evident are oxidation, corrosion, efflorescence and chemical injuries caused by living organisms (plants, insect pests, chemical attack by excrement and fungi).
With the solution for structural health monitoring of buildings, physicochemical damage can also be studied by installing a sensor network that monitors variables such as temperature, humidity, dilatations, corrosion, molds or oxides.
The data collected by the sensors are transmitted to the ENVIRA DS platform, where the information can be graphically displayed or downloaded for further analysis with other tools.
With this data you get:
