Large-Scale Structural Health Monitoring Based on Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract:

For large-scale structural damage in various forms, a single regional monitoring is difficult to finish. The paper introduces a design method of a large-scale structural health monitoring system based on wireless sensor networks. ZigBee wireless communication technology is used for the system. The ZigBee-based double wireless sensor network architecture is designed. The wireless sensor node, sink node, a gateway node of this system is designed by using the CC2530 chip as core of data processing and wireless transceiver. In the IAR development platform, the lower position machine software is designed by using C language and the LabVIEW is used to finish the remote display in the host computer. The results show that the monitoring system meets the design requirements, has the advantage of good on-line and real-time monitoring etc.
