2.5. Develop Installation Plan

Try these first

1. 1.

   What are the factors to consider while defining monitoring objectives?

   Hint

   Think about objectives that can be clearly defined and measured.

2. 2.

   Name one type of sensor used in civil engineering.

   Hint

   Think of devices that measure forces or environmental conditions.

3. 3.

   What is the first step in developing an installation plan?

   • Select sensor types
   • Define objectives
   • Determine maintenance schedules

   Hint

   What guides all subsequent decisions in the monitoring system?

4. 4.

   True or False: Calibration is optional during the sensor installation process.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Think about the importance of accuracy in data collection.

5. 5.

   Imagine you are overseeing the installation of sensors in a construction project located near saltwater. What factors would influence your sensor selection and installation plan?

   Hint

   Think about how environmental exposure can impact sensor life and accuracy.

6. 6.

   You are tasked with developing a monitoring plan for a new bridge. Outline the key steps you would take from defining objectives to maintaining sensor performance post-installation.

   Hint

   Consider each phase of the deployment as interconnected steps leading to the effective tracking of the bridge's performance.
