Development and characterization of an IoT cloud platform operating in 5G network for structural health monitoring of civil constructions

In diagnostics and prognostics field for civil infrastructures, this case study intends to analyze the integration of the IoT paradigm and its applicability in the knowledge of the health state and safety of a masonry structure in the “Sassi” of Matera (Italy). The scientific results provide important impulses for the development of innovative processes, requirements for structural design, technical specification for interoperability and services useful for the implementation of a system to evaluate the level of structural safety of constructions under static and seismic loads. For this purpose, the case study concerns the development of an IoT-WSN cloud platform operating in 5G network for the structural monitoring of S. Domenico Church located in Matera city, Italy.
