Abstract

Since the 20th century, the death toll caused by earthquakes in China has accounted for about half of all natural disasters in the country where the building collapse is the main cause of casualties. Therefore, it is an important issue for human society to recognize the mechanism of earthquake waves destroying buildings and design more earthquake-resistant building structures. We have developed and implemented a low-power, high-reliability and high precision earthquake monitoring system that can be deployed in buildings. The monitoring system uses high-precision sensors to collect the vibration information of each node of the building in real time, and save it in the local memory in real time, and at the same time make real-time judgments on the sampled information. When an earthquake occurs, the terminal acquisition node of the monitoring system will use the Lora ad hoc network to upload the vibration data before and after the earthquake to the cloud platform. After testing, the results show that the monitoring system operates stably in a strong earthquake environment and can provide data support for the seismic design of buildings in the future.
