Automation in Construction: Researchers develop automated system to measure strain and acceleration of precast concrete structures
Reserarchers at Chung-Ang University, South Korea have developed a smart portable sensing system for monitoring precast structures during delivery. The multimetric portable system uses an IoT sensor to simultaneously measure strain and acceleration of the structures real-time during delivery. Precast concrete structures (PCS) reduce workforce dependency and construction time. However, they are subjected to vibrations…
