Outline

Recent developments in communications and sensing equipment technology have enabled the development of multifunctional wireless sensing units that are low cost, energy efficient, and small in size. There are many  advantages in wireless data transmission when monitoring the structural safety of a site under construction; in particular, there are fewer restrictions in installation space and considerable reductions in cable length compared to a wired sensor network when arranging the numerous sensor locations or selecting a monitoring space. In addition, with the wireless transmission of data, the monitoring server does not have to be located on site. In this presentation, based on the long-term monitoring results recorded from a large number of sensors, the performance of the integrative monitoring system applied to a large-scale irregular building under construction that exhibited a very complicated configuration will be discussed.
