Precast concrete structures reduce workforce dependency and construction time. However, they are subjected to vibrations and strain during transport from their manufacturing site to the construction site. Effective quality control measures require continuous logging of vibration and strain measurement during the delivery, an essential feature that is missing in current systems. Researchers have now developed a portable sensing system that can monitor strain and acceleration to enable efficient PCS delivery. The smart sensing system was developed to monitor PCS during transportation in real time. The system integrates IoT sensors that detect vibrations and deformations during movement.
