Abstract :
Interferometer sensor has 4 quadrants on it which can be used to test the effects of movement in a structure. This movement will be tested in 3 dimensions. The test undertaken will be a laboratory test using a miniature model of a structure and moving in the axis of X, Y and Z. By doing so, the result gathered will be concluded whether it will function in real world application which will be in a real scale. This technology is suitable for this application due to the nature of the interferometer sensor which is accurate and fast at the speed of light. With the interferometer capability, monitoring of the structure can be made in real time. Its application are not limited to monitoring but also use to prevent from structure collapse, deaths caused by collapsed structure as well as for research into the limit of structure movement or bend before it collapses.
