Remote Structural Health Monitoring

In recent years, with the widespread construction, the number of incidences of structural damages and accidents has increased. This has led to fatal casualties and property loss. The most important reason for most of the structural damages and accidents occurring is lack of effective monitoring. The main aim of Structural Health monitoring is to monitor different civil structures like buildings, stadiums and try to improve the health of the structure which in turn will help to improve the lifespan of the civil structures and can also help to maintain the safety of Public [5]. The process of SHM includes detecting and analyzing the damages or weakness that the structure has, due to old age or any other reason and take preventive measure to avoid any fatal consequences [3]. Structural Monitoring is also important helpful for reducing over finance, as we don't always have to take big steps of demolition and rebuilding as sometimes simple repairs can do great effects. The necessity of bridge health monitoring has been drawn more and more attention. This paper introduces a remote bridge health monitoring system. Undergoing regular maintenance procedure on civil structures can help to increase the life span of the structure [7].
