Embedded Placement:

During the concrete pouring process, wireless sensors are strategically embedded within the concrete structure at key locations. These locations are chosen based on the project’s requirements and the areas of interest for monitoring temperature and strength.

Sensor Components:

Each wireless sensor comprises essential components such as temperature and strain gauges. These gauges are designed to measure variations in temperature and strain within the concrete as it cures and gains strength.

Wireless Communication:

Once embedded, the sensors communicate wirelessly with a central monitoring system or a base station. This communication is typically facilitated through radio frequency (RF) or Bluetooth technology. The sensors continuously transmit data to the monitoring system, providing real-time updates on temperature and strength parameters.

Data Collection and Analysis:

The central monitoring system collects the data transmitted by the wireless sensors and stores it in a database for analysis. Advanced algorithms may be employed to process the data and generate insights into the concrete’s curing process and strength development.

Remote Accessibility:

One of the key advantages of wireless sensors is their remote accessibility. Construction teams can access the real-time data from the monitoring system through web-based interfaces or dedicated software applications. This allows them to monitor the progress of concrete curing and strength development from anywhere, enabling proactive decision-making and timely interventions if required.

Alerts and Notifications:

Wireless sensors can be programmed to trigger alerts or notifications in case of abnormal temperature variations or deviations from the expected strength development curve. This early warning system enables construction teams to take preventive measures to mitigate potential issues and ensure the quality and durability of the concrete structure.
