A STRUCTURAL DISPLACEMENT MONITORING SYSTEM
Abstract A whole house structural displacement monitoring system automatically tracks real time changes in floor, wall, and ceiling levels in multi-room houses where line-of-sight targeting is not feasible throughout the entire building. The system uses light emitters to focus beams of light on target surfaces and a control system to measure relative displacement by observing the offset of incident light on these surfaces. During setup, the control system is programmed to accommodate different room configurations with both line-of-sight and non-line-of-sight pairs of light emitters and target surfaces, allowing it to accurately measure the displacement of various structures within the adjoining rooms. This system provides a versatile and reliable solution for monitoring structural changes in residential buildings, even when direct line-of-sight is obstructed.
