Real-Time Monitoring for Effects of Vibration and Temperature of Construction Site on Steel Assembly Bracing of Foundation Pit

In this paper, a real-time monitoring system—including vibration acceleration sensors, temperature sensors, and static and dynamic strain sensors—is used to monitor the safety status of a steel assembly bracing in a practical project. It uses 5G wireless networking technology to transmit monitoring data to a cloud server for early warning of abnormal changes and development trends. Real-time monitoring data obtained in a construction site are used as the inputs of the finite element model and the corresponding results of numerical simulation are compared with the results from the real-time monitoring. It can be concluded that: (1) the stress caused by environmental temperature is very significant which can be higher than the initial prestress of the steel assembly bracing; (2) the stress caused by the vertical vibration mainly from construction vehicles is not remarkable, however, the vertical frequency-weighted acceleration of support vibration is relatively large which can affect the sense of safety of engineering technicians on site; (3) the combination of the environmental temperature and vertical vibration does not affect the safety of the steel assembly bracing.
