Abstract
During a construction operation, concrete formwork is a temporary structure that contains concrete material in the shape of structural designs. Construction failure often occurs during concrete placement due to the instability of support mechanisms. Therefore, this temporary structure should be constantly monitored during concrete placement to give an early warning of construction failure or instability. Because concrete placement is often executed in a natural area, the monitoring system can be more effective if mobile applications assist the safety manager in accessing sensor data from the sensors on the concrete formwork. This paper presents the schematic design and its prototype model to demonstrate the effectiveness of applying mobile devices in remotely monitoring concrete formwork during concrete placement. A combination of information and communication technologies are integrated to develop the mobile devices, such as mobile phones and smart glasses.
