Cyber-Physical Systems for Temporary Structures Monitoring
Past decades have seen a high record of structural failure related to temporary structures (i.e. scaffolding, temporary support system, and formwork system). As a result, around 100 deaths, 4500 injuries, and cost of $90 million occur every year due to the improper management of temporary structures. While about three quarters of the construction workers in the United States work on or near temporary structures, in adequate attentions have been paid to the safety management of temporary structures. The advanced benefits of information and communications technologies, such as Cyber-Physical System (CPS), provide promising solution for advanced monitoring of temporary structures. Particularly, CPS enables real-time and remote control of temporary structures performance for safety management purpose. This chapter reviewed common causes to six typical temporary structures, explored and designed the CPS based prototype system for temporary structures monitoring. The developed prototype system was further evaluated through experimental test and evaluation workshop. Finally, discussion on practical deployment consideration and future research recommendations were provided.
