METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MONITORING STRUCTURE CONDITIONS Russian patent published in 2019 - IPC G01M7/00 

FIELD: measurement.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to measuring equipment, in particular to means for monitoring conditions of artificial structures. Method includes measuring motion parameters of at least a part of the monitored structural element and retrieval of information about such motions. Information comes from at least one measuring module installed on the monitored structural element, providing the ability to measure angular and linear displacements of the monitored structural element. Obtained data is further analyzed for compliance with the specified parameters. System includes at least one inertial measuring module, configured to be installed on a controlled structural element, allowing measuring angular and linear motions of at least the location, in which this module is mounted, and providing the ability to transfer the captured data, data receiving unit, which receives data from at least one measuring module, unit for analyzing the incoming data for compliance with the specified parameters, unit for generating a signal monitoring the device shutdown system and/or devices that cause the motion of the monitored structure element, and/or a signal monitoring a system for warning for reaching the specified values and/or exceeding them, and/or a system closing access to at least a part of a structure, in which at least one structural element is monitored in case of reaching and/or exceeding specified parameters. Wherein the inertial measuring module is a combination of three gyroscopes and three accelerometers rigidly mounted on a common case, so that their sensitivity axes define mutually orthogonal trihedrons.

EFFECT: technical result is improved safety of buildings and structures, timely response to changes in structures and repair thereof, collecting statistical data on dynamic loads and soil movements for their subsequent consideration in the design.
