How IoT Uses Sensors to Add Intelligence to Concrete Infrastructure

Right now, structures are checked in person at fixed time intervals, and often an external sign of deterioration must appear before anyone is aware of a problem. Since most structures will show only minor degradation from year to year, there is a temptation to underfund the effort. A wide variety of sensors are being developed that, connected by IoT to analytics, will transform how structural health monitoring is done, and make monitoring and investing in concrete infrastructure more efficient.
