摘要

Moisture content in soil and structural elements is a critical factor influencing their integrity, durability, and load-bearing capacity. Excess moisture in soil leads to the generation of pore water pressure, hence bearing capacity failures during sand boil and liquefactions. In structural elements like beams, column, slabs, and footing, the presence of water inside such elements gives strength deterioration leads in the reduction of the structure life. The presence of water and its stagnation inside the structural members attracts more disaster failures if not arrested at right time. In present work, the attempt is made to monitor the development of water forces in soil and structural elements using designed sensors for the selected sites. Continuous monitoring of water pressure development observed through the readings received from the sensor elements is analysed. Depending upon the water content data received from the present study for soil and structural element, the validation carried out with past literature. Further upon the post analysis for the threshold values, the mitigation remedy is suggested for the site. The study will conclude the efficiency and drawbacks of the designed sensors and its applicability in the field of constructions during and after construction phases.
