IoT based Smart Damage and Crack System for Construction

The damage inspection technologies for beam or structures available today have struggled in determining slowly progressive damage especially in areas that are out of reach in the construction industry. The basic principle proposed model is differentiation between voltage of cracked and damaged model with the normal model. Firstly, we mount piezoelectric sensor on the model and measure output voltage as threshold. If any cracks or damages appeared in the model measured voltage will be changed and indicating further mishap. This indication can be given by an alert(message/email) to the authorized personnel. For example, if we take the magnitude of normal/natural voltage as 100, then by this model a crack of magnitude 5(i.e. 0.05 times of the original voltage) can also be detected. The calculation of stress strain results in the calculation and data simulation by digital processing. Live online tracking of the status of crack severity can be done via Internet of Things and the data is stored in an online cloud server by cloud computing.
