Advancing smart health monitoring: a review of low-cost sensors for structural assessment
In response to the global demand for structural health monitoring (SHM), particularly in the context of expanding structural assets, this paper conducts a thorough exploration of the integration of low-cost sensors in SHM applications. The primary focus is to introduce various low-cost sensors commonly used in SHM applications for bridges, aiming to unveil their full potential as economical alternatives to expensive commercial sensors. This approach not only broadens accessibility, allowing structures with limited SHM resources to benefit but also enhances measurement points for more robust results. The study begins with the introduction of the NodeMCU, serving as the programmable logic controller equipped with a built-in WiFi module. This feature enables IoT functionality for the low-cost sensors under review. The exploration then delves into an array of digital sensors. Systematic ambient tests were conducted to uncover challenges during sensor installation and data acquisition. The paper not only introduces these low-cost electronic devices but also provides practical solutions to overcome identified issues, ensuring their effective utilization for SHM purposes. ; The authors are indebted to the projects PID2021-126405OB-C31 and PID2021-126405OB-C32 funded by FEDER funds—A Way to Make Europe and Spanish Ministry of Economy, Competitiveness MICIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033/ and the European Union “NextGenerationEU”/PRTR. Project references: PID2019-108978RB-C32, PID2021-126405OB-C31, PID2021-126405OB-C32 and PLEC2021-007982. ; Peer Reviewed ; Postprint (published version)
