Accordingly, it will enhance wind community's analysis and design capabilities to address next generation challenges posed by wind. This framework would enable a paradigm shift by offering advanced cyber-enabled modules (e-modules) for the acceleration of advances in research and education to achieve improved understanding and better modeling of wind effects on structures. To address the needs, this paper proposes a new paradigm of a cyber-based framework for analysis/design, modeling and simulation of wind load effects based on a cyberinfrastructure, Virtual Organization for Reducing the Toll of EXtreme Winds (VORTEX-Winds) at. With the trend toward increasingly complex designs on civil structures and the escalating potential for losses by extreme wind events, a new culture of research needs to be established based on innovative solutions for better management of the impact of extreme wind events, which also requires to challenge the interdisciplinary nature of wind effects on structures. This study introduces the system and its installation during the construction of Burj Dubai (Burj Khalifa).ĭespite many advances in the area of wind effects on structures in recent decades, research has been traditionally conducted with limited resources scattered physically.

Within this framework, data streams from distributed sensors are pushed through network interfaces in real-time and are seamlessly synchronized and integrated by a centralized server, which performs the functions of basic data acquisition, event triggering and data management and processing, while at the same time providing a powerful interface for data visualization. Instead this system offers a self-contained, "plug-and-play" module for scalable and rapidly deployable monitoring.

Given the reliability of modern networks and the comparatively low sampling rates required for structural monitoring, the issues of packet loss and synchronization often experienced in wireless systems are eliminated, as is the need for lengthy instrumentation cables that add to the cost and noise in wired systems. This study introduces the SmartSync monitoring system, which utilizes the building's existing network as "virtual" instrumentation cables.
