Abstract :
Industrialized countries have huge investments in civil infrastructure there is need for the proper structural audits for this Infrastructures. Structural health monitoring approach has come into action which is performed using Smart Sensors, Piezoelectric sensors and accelerometers are used for the environmental and some parameters of Structures, which results into detection of damages in structures. Data acquisition algorithms are used for transmission of data and calculate the overall statistics from the network, it requires less computational power. By this approach damage detection observation can be done from remote places. The parameters are measure vibration, temperature and moisture. It also identifies the stress, strain, pressure and load of a wall. This approach is mainly done using wireless sensor network. The network is simulated for the processing of data. The actual data is measure by the sensor which is calibrated in units. At the end structural heath monitoring will be useful in detecting all the necessary damage detection, to calculate the life of building and to go for efficient algorithms.
