Decision Support System in Thailand's Dam Safety with a Mobile Application for Public Relations

This paper describes the decision-making based on civil engineering expertise of the Dam Safety Remote Monitoring System: DS-RMS, which decides on action-based advice depending on every-day scenarios and special occurrences such as earthquakes and floods. The system has been in full operation since 2016 and automatically evaluates 35 failure modes for 3 major dam types 24 hours a day. Key benefits include quick and reliable access to current information about the dams and being a reliever to dam executives in critical situations. In further development, parts of the real-time dam information were selected and made available to the public together with dam safety evaluation results automatically and continuously via a mobile application.

Continuous monitoring of the health status of cement-based structures: electrical impedance measurements and remote monitoring solutions

<p class="Abstract">The continuous monitoring of cement-based structures and infrastructures is fundamental to optimize their service life and reduce maintenance costs. In the framework of the EnDurCrete project (GA no. 760639), a remote monitoring system based on electrical impedance measurements was developed. Electrical impedance is measured according to the Wenner’s method, using 4-electrode arrays embedded in concrete during casting, selecting alternating current as excitation, to avoid the polarization of both electrode/material interface and of material itself. With this measurement, it is possible to promptly identify events related to contaminants ingress or damages (e.g. cracks formation). Conductive additions are included in some elements to enhance signal-to-noise ratio, as well as the self-sensing properties of concrete. Specifically, a distributed sensor network was implemented<span style="text-decoration: line-through;">,</span> consisting of measurement nodes installed in the elements to be monitored, then connected to a central hub (RS-232 protocol). Nodes are realized with an embedded unit for electrical impedance measurements (EVAL-AD5940BIOZ board with AD5940 chip, by Analog Device) and a digital thermometer (DS18B20 by Maxim Integrated), enclosed in cabinets filled with an IP68 gel against moist-related problems. Data are available on a Cloud through Wi-Fi network or LTE modem, hence can be accessed remotely via a use-friendly multi-platform interface.</p>

Vibration Analyses of a Gantry Structure by Mobile Phone Digital Image Correlation and Interferometric Radar

The study presents results from applying the Real Aperture Radar interferometry technique and Digital Image Correlation through a mobile phone camera to identify static and dynamic deformations of a gantry during surveying operations on the Michelangelo’s David at the Galleria dell’Accademia di Firenze Museum in Florence. The statue has considerable size and reaches an elevation of more than seven meters on its pedestal. An ad-hoc gantry was designed and deployed, given the cramped operating area around the statue. The scanner had a stability control system that forbid surveying in instrument movements. However, considering the unicity of the survey and its rare occurrence, the previous survey had been carried out in the year 2000; verifying stability and recording deformations is a crucial task, and necessary for validation. As the gantry does not have an on-board stability sensor, and considering the hi-survey accuracy requested, a redundant, contactless, remote monitoring system of the gantry and the statue stability was chosen to guarantee the maximum freedom of movement around the David to avoid any interference during scanning operations. Thanks to the TInRAR technique, the gantry and the statue were monitored with an accuracy of 0.01 mm. At the same time, a Digital Image Correlation analysis was performed on the gantry, which can be considered a Multi-Degree-Of-Freedom (MDOF) system, to accurately calculate the vibration frequency and amplitude. A comparison between TInRAR and DIC results reported substantial accordance in detecting gantry’s oscillating frequencies; a predominant oscillation frequency of 1.33 Hz was identified on the gantry structure by TinSAR and DIC analysis.

Development of a Wireless Corrosion Detection System for Steel-Framed Structures Using Pulsed Eddy Currents

Structural health monitoring (SHM) can be more efficient with the application of a wireless sensor network (WSN). However, the hardware that makes up this system should have sufficient performance to sample the data collected from the sensor in real-time situations. High-performance hardware can be used for this purpose, but is not suitable in this application because of its relatively high power consumption, high cost, large size, and so on. In this paper, an optimal remote monitoring system platform for SHM is proposed based on pulsed eddy current (PEC) that is utilized for measuring the corrosion of a steel-framed construction. A circuit to delay the PEC response based on the resistance–inductance–capacitance (RLC) combination was designed for data sampling to utilize the conventional hardware of WSN for SHM, and this approach was verified by simulations and experiments. Especially, the importance of configuring sensing modules and the WSN for remote monitoring were studied, and the PEC responses caused by the corrosion of a specimen made with steel were able to be sampled remotely using the proposed system. Therefore, we present a remote SHM system platform for diagnosing the corrosion condition of a building with a steel structure, and proving its viability with experiments.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to monitor the surface cooling of the photovoltaic (PV) panel and the effect of the dust accumulated on the panel surface on the electrical efficiency remotely and instantaneously. Design/methodology/approach An autonomous system has been designed that can measure and record the PV surface temperature, the amount of dust on the surface, current, voltage and power values at certain intervals. It can also perform surface cooling and cleaning with water cycle when the temperature and dust amount reach certain threshold values and transmit these values to the user via global system for mobile communications module, Bluetooth module and graphically with a touchscreen liquid crystal display panel. Thus, it is aimed to benefit from PV at the maximum level, and it was installed in Kahramanmaras Sütçü Imam University Faculty of Engineering and Architecture. Findings An increase in power was observed for PV surface cooling and surface dust removal by 3.78% and 45.99%, respectively. Originality/value This system is of vital importance in terms of time and energy-saving, especially for solar plants far from the city center, which are difficult to access because of climatic conditions. In other hand for future studies, it is foreseen that more efficiency gains can be achieved by using artificial intelligence and image processing techniques.
