Abstract

The use of inclinometer to measure deflections of structures is tested through experiments. By placing sensors at the ends of specimens, which are easy to accessed, the maximum deflection of a beam at the center is measured. Upon changing load, the inclined angles are measured and then converted to deflection using mathematical relationship between the deflection and rotational angle. Through this research, it is expected to promote the use of inclinometers for structural health monitoring of buildings and civil structures.
