Modular digital system for monitoring, assessing and forecasting the condition of concrete for monolithic works based on Internet of Things technology

Abstract

This article explores the strength characteristics of concrete structures in relation to their production technology, as well as investigates the potential for improving quality control methods in concrete casting through the integration of modern IIoT technologies. During the construction process, there is a frequent necessity to conduct rapid assessments of the condition of concrete and concrete structures directly at the construction site. This need arises from the logical reasoning that upon detecting any structural defects, such as cracks or sinks, it is essential to obtain initial information about the concrete's condition to facilitate subsequent analysis and decision-making without conducting complex laboratory studies. In this study, we made an analysis of existing temperature control systems employed to monitor concreting concrete structures during winter conditions. Additionally, detailed insights and practical experience are presented regarding the utilization of a state-of-the-art monitoring system at construction sites, enabling real-time temperature monitoring both on the surface and within the structure.
