With the acceleration of urbanization, various buildings have sprung up, from high-rise buildings to bridges and tunnels, from residential buildings to public facilities, which constitute the space where we work and live. However, the safety and stability of buildings also arise, and how to monitor the building structure to ensure its safety and stability has become an important issue that we have to face.
1. Factors affecting the safety of building structures
Structural safety is the key to ensuring that a building can withstand various forces stably and reliably during use, and its influencing factors are numerous and complex. The following are the main factors that affect the safety of building structures:
First and foremost, foundation and soil conditions are critical to the safety of building structures. The bearing capacity and stability of the foundation directly affect the safety of the superstructure. Factors such as soil type, strength, compaction and moisture content can all affect the performance of the foundation, which in turn affects the safety of the entire building structure.
Secondly, the height and shape of the building are also important factors affecting the safety of the structure. High-rise buildings and specially shaped buildings require stronger structural support and stability to cope with the effects of natural forces such as wind and earthquakes. Therefore, these factors must be fully considered in the design and construction process to ensure the stability and safety of the building structure.
In addition, the functional requirements of the building also have an impact on structural safety. Different buildings have different functions and requirements, such as a large span space requires a stronger support structure, while a multi-storey car park requires a strong vertical load carrying capacity. These functional requirements must be fully considered in the structural design to ensure the rationality and safety of the structure.
At the same time, environmental conditions are also an important factor affecting the safety of building structures. Environmental conditions such as climate, location, and topography can have an impact on the design and material selection of the structure. For example, in earthquake-prone areas, building structures need to be more resistant to earthquakes, while in areas with frequent wind hazards, they need to be more resistant to wind.
In addition, the connection and support of structural components are also key factors to ensure the integrity and stability of the structure. If the connection is not strong or the support is insufficient, it can cause the structure to break or become unstable when stressed.
Finally, construction quality and workmanship can also have a significant impact on the safety of building structures. If there are quality problems or improper workmanship during the construction process, it may lead to defects or hidden dangers in the structure, which in turn affects its safety.
To sum up, there are many factors that affect the safety of building structures, which need to be fully considered and responded to in the process of design, construction and use. Through reasonable design, strict construction and effective maintenance management, the safety and stability of the building structure can be ensured.
2. How to monitor the safety of building structures
In addition to the above-mentioned control of the design and construction stages, in order to ensure the safety of the building structure and monitor its status in real time, we can use a variety of advanced monitoring technologies, such as non-destructive testing technology, sensor monitoring technology, etc., to monitor the building structure in real time. Based on this, our company has developed a visual cloud platform for comprehensive health monitoring of the whole life cycle of buildings according to customer needs.
The building life-cycle comprehensive health monitoring visualization cloud platform realizes real-time monitoring, efficient early warning and response management of building structure stress, displacement, acceleration, temperature and energy consumption data by integrating six main functional modules, including the Internet of Things platform, BIMBase cloud platform, data middle platform, monitoring information management, BI data monitoring kanban, and equipment co-ordination. Help users strengthen the safety supervision of building structures, and improve the safety, stability and economy of buildings in the whole life cycle.
The platform has the following 8 major functions:
1. Comprehensive display
The comprehensive display realizes a comprehensive overview of the building operation status by displaying the data information such as building area distribution, real-time displacement monitoring data, stress real-time monitoring data, real-time monitoring and early warning data, acceleration real-time monitoring data, real-time temperature detection data, monitoring video, etc., which helps users solve various building health problems in a timely manner.
2. Stress monitoring kanban
By displaying real-time stress monitoring data, stress monitoring early warning data, stress monitoring history, equipment positioning, stress curve and other data information, the stress monitoring kanban is conducive to users to understand the stress state of the building in real time, analyze and evaluate the safety degree of the building, and provide a data basis for the safe operation and maintenance and reinforcement of the building.
3. Displacement monitoring kanban
The displacement monitoring dashboard helps users find and repair potential problems of building structures in time and reduce the occurrence of risk events by displaying real-time displacement monitoring data, displacement monitoring early warning data, displacement monitoring history, equipment positioning, displacement curve and other data information.
4. Acceleration monitoring kanban
The acceleration monitoring dashboard enables users to understand the seismic performance and stability of the building in real time and reduce the impact of structural acceleration on the building by displaying real-time acceleration monitoring data, acceleration real-time monitoring and early warning data, acceleration monitoring history, equipment positioning, acceleration curve and other data information.
5. Temperature monitoring kanban
The temperature monitoring dashboard allows users to grasp the building temperature in real time by displaying real-time temperature monitoring data, real-time temperature monitoring and early warning data, temperature monitoring history, equipment positioning, temperature curve and other data information, so as to avoid building health problems caused by too high and too low.
6. Energy consumption monitoring
Energy consumption monitoring provides favorable data for users to analyze building energy consumption by displaying real-time monitoring data of regional environment, real-time monitoring data of regional energy consumption, real-time monitoring and early warning data of energy consumption, video surveillance, overall overall energy consumption monitoring data, and real-time monitoring data of overall sub-item energy consumption, which is conducive to the implementation of more energy-saving and environmentally friendly building energy consumption schemes.
7. Data middle platform
The data middle platform is based on the HTTP interface protocol, and its main role is data conversion. Because the real-time data of the device obtained from the Internet of Things is not our common value, and the transmitted data may be wrong due to signal, power supply, etc. The data middle office is responsible for sorting, governing, evaluating and analyzing these acquired data, converting it into our common data and transmitting it to the front-end data interface.
8.BI Kanban display
BI Kanban display includes system setup, project management, equipment coordination, personnel management, and BI Kanban settings. Users can establish different rules according to the company's own development and project operation needs, such as using BI dashboards to customize various dashboard display methods, editing existing BI dashboard content, etc., to improve the quality and efficiency of project operations.
