Abstract
In this paper, we have proposed a smart building health monitoring system to avoid unwanted mishaps. Some accidents take place with no warning. The work in this paper presents an internet of things (IoT) based building health monitoring (BHM) system. The system comprises Piezoelectric sensors, Arduino and ESP8266 Wi-Fi module. Piezoelectric sensor (PZT) is used to generate and receive Lamb waves and the received wave is further analyzed to determine the health of the concrete structure. The approach is unique and uses cloud and mobile app-based monitoring. There are two important features of the suggested system; it monitors the damage in concrete structure and uploads the data to the cloud server. The exclusive technique takes the help of cloud sever system for its favorable position of data usability, ease of access and disaster recuperation. This proposed system generates all details associated with structural health of a specific building and can inform to the responsible authority for corrective measures. So that it can avoid mishaps and save lives, money, and properties.
