Abstract
This study introduces the SmartSync monitoring system, which utilizes the building's existing network as “virtual” instrumentation cables. Given the reliability of modern networks and the comparatively low sampling rates required for structural monitoring, the issues of packet loss and synchronization often experienced in wireless systems are eliminated, as is the need for lengthy instrumentation cables that add to the cost and noise in wired systems. Instead this system offers a self-contained, “plug-and-play” module for scalable and rapidly deployable monitoring. Within this framework, data streams from distributed sensors are pushed through network interfaces in real-time and are seamlessly synchronized and integrated by a centralized server, which performs the functions of basic data acquisition, event triggering and data management and processing, while at the same time providing a powerful interface for data visualization. This study introduces the system and its installation during the construction of Burj Dubai (Burj Khalifa).
