LOW POWER WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORK FOR

BUILDING MONITORING

ABSTRACT

A wireless sensor network is proposed for monitoring buildings to assess

earthquake damage. The sensor nodes use custom-developed capacitive micro

electromechanical systems strain and 3-D acceleration sensors and a low power readout

application-specified integrated circuit for a battery life of up to 12 years. The strain sensors

are mounted at the base of the building to measure the settlement and plastic hinge activation

of the building after an earthquake. They measure periodically or on-demand from the base

station. The accelerometers are mounted at every floor of the building to measure the seismic

response of the building during an earthquake. They record during an earthquake event using

a combination of the local acceleration data and remote triggering from the base station based

on the acceleration data from multiple sensors across the building. Low power network

architecture was implemented over an 802.15.4 MAC in the 900-MHz band. A custom patch

antenna was designed in this frequency band to obtain robust links in real-world conditions.

The modules have been validated in a full-scale laboratory setup with simulated earthquakes.

EXISTING SYSTEM

In the present system, the camera is used to monitor the environment of the

building. The present system is available in major shopping mall, hotels, and etc for the video

monitoring for security purpose. But if a building will damage because of earthquake or some

natural disaster there is no indication for those. For that particular purpose our proposed

system comes to exist.

PROPOSED SYSTEM

In this paper we propose the building monitoring through the accelerometer

sensor. The information from the sensor network will be updated on the PC through

wirelessly by using the Zigbee. The accelerometers are mounted at every floor of the building

to measure the seismic response of the building during an earthquake. They record during an

earthquake event using a combination of the local acceleration data and remote triggering

from the base station based on the acceleration data from multiple sensors across the

building. Zigbee is a transreceiver and it will used to transmit and receive data wirelessly. By

using a GPRS wireless transmission module the collected data from the zigbee receiver will

be transmitted or updated on the network. . Low power network architecture was

implemented over an 802.15.4 MAC in the 900-MHz band. A custom patch antenna was

designed in this frequency band to obtain robust links in real-world conditions.
