The early stage detection of damage and prediction of an upcoming accident in civil structure require continuous structural health monitoring for the large area. The position of sensors and monitoring system also plays an important role in structural monitoring which increases demand for the reliable civil structural monitoring system. On the other hand, determining the dynamic behavior of civil structure require the dense development of sensor. The wired civil structure monitoring system is highly expansive and always needs large installation space to deploy. This project describes wireless sensor network which consumes low power and less space. The wireless sensor network is developed to detect physical parameters of civil structures continuously and send the sensor information to internet cloud server via TCP/IP protocol. The user can access graphical view of various sensors from the cloud server. The cloud server utilizes MATLAB program to give the graphical representation of WSN data. The WSN consists of a sensor to continuously sense various physical parameters of a Civil structure such as temperature, humidity, light, and vibration. WSN user processor interface system with Raspberry pi is in low cost and consumes a small amount of power. The sensor data received will be processed by Raspberry pi using Python programming and sends sensor information to cloud server via internet. On cloud server, a user with server account can access real-time WSN data and view graphically using MATLAB. In this project, an email alert is also developed such that when WSN detect critical values of sensor data and predict upcoming accident in civil structure, it will be notified to the user. The user can also access WSN for an announcement when damage and upcoming accidents are predicted.
