Abstract
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) has been adopted widely by many advanced countries in various fields to create great benefits in recent years, including the filed of construction industry, such as construction materials, concrete specimen, installation of pre-cast structure, supply chain management, etc. Therefore, the advanced countries have drawn up their own RFID development plans and policies. Moreover, they have involved in RFID application and development very actively. We can learn from the fact here that the application and development of RFID technology have become an important topic nowadays all over the world. According to the survey, it shows that in Taiwan after 921 Earthquake because the characteristics of self-weight and seismic resistance for SRC structure are better than those for RC structure, the ratio of using SRC structure in newly constructed or reconstructed building is gradually increased. SRC structure includes two types of structures, steel and reinforced concrete. Therefore, the design and construction of SRC structure is more complicated than RC structure. In addition, in previous study which installing RFID into RC components, after experiments, it is verified that the technology is feasible. However, in order to seek for the completeness of the whole study, it is proposed in this study that the RFID labels will be installed into the SRC components (column and beam), and the feasibility and constructability of its communication and readability will be discussed. Besides, for the characteristics of SRC components and RFID technology (frequency band, label style, reader, capability of communication, etc.), a cross-assessment and testing will be conducted to find out the appropriate method and location to install the RFID labels. Finally, if the empirical results are feasible, it is expected that the maintenance works after construction and the benefit of E-Management can be improved. In addition, it could be the reference to the follow-up studies for relevant departments.
