摘要

The structural integrity of marine infrastructures such as offshore platforms, underwater pipelines, and coastal bridges is vital for ensuring safety, reliability, and longevity in harsh marine environments. Traditional methods of structural health monitoring (SHM) often fall short in providing real-time data acquisition and analysis, particularly in remote marine locations. With the emergence of the Internet of Things (IoT) technology, there is a significant opportunity to revolutionize the monitoring and management of marine structures. The Review article underscores the paramount significance of SHM in safeguarding the safety and dependability of civil infrastructure, particularly within marine contexts where constructions are subjected to severe conditions, such as saltwater-induced corrosion and sediment displacement. This illustrates how IoT technologies can boost SHM by supporting instant surveillance and data evaluation. This amalgamation permits the ongoing evaluation of structural integrity, which is crucial for prompt maintenance and intervention measures. The review articulates various sensors and methodologies employed in IoT-empowered SHM frameworks, encompassing pH and electrochemical sensors utilized for corrosion assessment, accelerometers employed to monitor structural vibrations, and predictive analytics aimed at evaluating damage. The article delineates the benefits associated with the incorporation of IoT in SHM, including a diminished necessity for manual inspections, enhanced safety protocols, prolonged durability of structures, and reduced maintenance expenditures. Automated notifications can instigate immediate responses when potential complications are identified, thus averting disastrous failures. Furthermore, it addresses the obstacles encountered in the practical application of these technologies, such as data management complications and sensor dependability, while proposing future research avenues to surmount these challenges and bolster the efficacy of SHM systems in marine environments. This article encapsulates the transformative capability of IoT in revolutionizing SHM methodologies within marine contexts, accentuating the imperative for ongoing monitoring to ensure the protection of infrastructure and public safety.
