ABSTRACT
In construction industry maintenance should be given utmost importance and focus. For
continuous monitoring of maintenance Internet of Things (IoT) can be used. IoT can be used to
monitor the structure from anywhere. Structural health monitoring using IoT is the latest
technique employed all over the world, especially the buildings exposed to harsh environments.
Sensors were used to collect the data from the structure from which we can identify the
deterioration and the method to rectify. Cloud computing technique was also employed. A simple
signal processing technique helps us to interact with buildings, which was the blessing of IoT.
This paper presents the state of art survey about current research and implementations put into
practice.
Keywords: IOT, Internet of Things, Cloud computing, Application.
1. INTRODUCTION
Computer application in the construction industry is minimal. A tool to study the safety
and serviceability of concrete structures is scarce. For studying the real-time behavior of concrete
structures, IoT becomes vital. Viren B. Chandanshive and Arbaz M. Kazi states that a large
Network will develop by Internet of Things with number of wireless perceptible “things”
interactive with one another and participating the developments. Fig. 1 depicts the consents of the
inhabitants and possessions that can be linked at any given time, at any place, with any person,
using some network plus some broadband utility. The Ambient Intelligence, insidious computing
and omnipresent computing concepts are basically adopted in the IoT.

LITERATURE REVIEW
Ahmed Abdelgawad and Kumar Yelamarthi states that a complete real-time SHM platform is
integrated with the IoT system. The proposed platform consists of Pro-Trinket, NRF module, Wi-
Fi module, and Raspberry Pi 2. Fig 2 shows the proposed IoT platform.

The data will be stored in the cloud and can be checked remotely from any mobile device.
The system has been validated using a real test bed in the lab. Results show that the proposed
platform has a 1% error for the damage location and a 9% error for the damage width detection.
Prabastates that an attempt has been made to implement IoT to monitor deflection of
Bridge decks using piezoelectric sensors. This process could make the whole system "self-
sufficient for energy generation and utilisation". The findings of our project could pave a positive
way of approach for the successful practical implementation of IoT to monitor bridges and also
make it "self-sufficient" by adopting to an Alternate Energy Conversion system. Fig. 3 shows the
Flow Diagram for IoT of Bridge Deck

The findings will significantly contribute to research and development and when put to
practical use, will enable practicing Civil Engineers to monitor and manage projects through IoT .
BrindaChanv et al. states that Internet of things (IoT), is the network of smart sensors that
combine sensing and wireless transmission of vital safety parameters of buildings and structures,
to distant computing units which continuously do the processing and monitoring of these
parameters.Data collected by Arduino Uno is also given to the visual studio for locally storing
data and visualizing data on the bar chart form as shown in Fig.4.

This system helps government to issue early warning of any unwanted critical condition
for resident based on cloud data. So that, they can take a legal action earlier before it collapses.In
future, we can also monitor some more advance parameter of building using IOT enabled devices
or sensors for enhancing safety. Prototype of system can be used for various applications like
environment health monitoring system, greenhouse monitoring system etc.
Carmelo Scuro states that sensors are smart since they are not only able to measure the
physical quantities of interest but elaborate them and are able to transmit the information through
the internet to take decisions.

In fact, the architecture of an IoT-SHM system (Fig. 5) can be schematized by: Smart Object (SO)
sensors; gateway; remote control and service room (RCSR); and the open platform
communications (OPC) server.
The advantages of the IoT paradigm in implementing the SHM monitoring system are
highlighted with several actual examples, with the aim to boost the effort of scientific research in
this direction. Among several application scenarios, particular importance is the monitoring of
building materials through acoustic emission. This is a technique that will have great potential for
development of IoT-SHM and allow systems with reduced battery consumption to continuously
monitor existing and new structures.
CONCLUSION
The IoT-Structural health monitoring system is well adapted to application scenarios such
as smart houses and smart cities, boosting on one side safety for humans and goods and on the
other side reducing the costs of periodic monitoring. Both of these features introduce the
capability of the monitoring system to implement criteria for providing a prognosis about the
residual life of the structure or to optimize its maintenance.
