Wireless Concrete Construction Monitoring System Based on Mobile-Agent and GPRS

By monitoring and controlling the temperature and stress of concrete in the process of mass concrete casting, the temperature stress can be reduced effectively. In response to problems of traditional temperature and strain monitoring method, a new kind of distributed temperature and strain monitoring system based on mobile-agent and GPRS had been proposed. And also this system design a data integration middleware based on mobile-agent which verify the validity of the middleware through the experiment on Genomote nodes of network. Through GPRS network, remote data monitoring center receives data packets of temperature and strain of the concrete. The real-time display function of temperature and strain parameters was achieved by PC software programmed by Labview. The experiment show that the temperature acquisition value and the standard temperature error is within the scope of the permit (<1°C) and the system is stable, reliable for the needs of the remote monitoring.
