[0021] Hereinafter, a building integrity verification system, a building integrity verification method, and a manufacturing method for a building integrity verification system according to embodiments will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following description, components having the same or similar functions will be denoted by the same reference numerals. Duplicate descriptions of those components may be omitted.
[0022] (First embodiment) First, a first embodiment will be described. A building integrity verification system 1 of this embodiment is, for example, a system for verifying the integrity of a building after an earthquake occurs. Note that the term "building" as used herein is not limited to buildings or houses, but may also include bridges and other structures. Furthermore, the term "story of a building" as used herein refers to a part of a building that can be treated as a whole when considering the deformation characteristics of the building. The term "story of a building" refers to, for example, each floor of a building (the part consisting of the floors, beams, columns, walls, etc. of each floor).
[0023] <1. Overall structure> FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of a building soundness verification system 1 according to this embodiment. The building soundness verification system 1 includes, for example, a first sensor group 10A, a second sensor group 10B, a first information processing device 20A including a first verification unit 300A, and a second information processing device 20B including a second verification unit 300B. In this embodiment, the first sensor group 10A and the first verification unit 300A form a first-system building soundness verification subsystem 1a. The second sensor group 10B and the second verification unit 300B form a second-system building soundness verification subsystem 1b. The first-system building soundness verification subsystem 1a and the second-system building soundness verification subsystem 1b can be operated independently of each other. These configurations will be described below.
[0024] <2. Building> In the example shown in FIG. 1 , the building 1000 is, for example, a 13-story building, and has a first floor (1F) 101, a second floor (2F) 102, a third floor (3F) 103, ..., and a rooftop 100R. However, the building 1000 may be a building with 12 or fewer floors, or a building with 14 or more floors. The first floor 101 is an example of a "reference layer (e.g., the lowest floor above ground)" of the building 1000. The reference layer is a layer that experiences the same shaking (same seismic intensity) as the ground when earthquake motion is input to the building 1000. The reference layer is, for example, the first floor 101 of the building 1000, but may also be the basement floor or the foundation of the building 1000. Therefore, in a modified example of the building 1000, the layer designated by the reference symbol 102 may be the first floor (1F), and the layer designated by the reference symbol 101 may be the basement floor (or foundation).
[0025] <3. First sensor group and second sensor group> 3.1 Arrangement of the first and second sensor groups Next, a description will be given of the first sensor group 10A and the second sensor group 10B. The first sensor group 10A and the second sensor group 10B are provided in a building 1000 whose soundness is to be verified.
[0026] The first sensor group 10A includes, for example, first to seventh sensors SA1 to SA7. The first sensor SA1 is installed on, for example, the floor of the first floor 101. The second to seventh sensors SA2 to SA7 are installed on, for example, the floors of odd-numbered floors of the building 1000. That is, the second sensor SA2 is installed on, for example, the floor of the third floor 103. The third sensor SA3 is installed on, for example, the floor of the fifth floor 105. Similarly, the fourth to seventh sensors SA4 to SA7 are installed on, for example, the floors of the seventh floor 107, the ninth floor 109, ..., the thirteenth floor 113. The first sensor group 10A may also include an eighth sensor SA8 installed on the rooftop 100R. This also applies to all the embodiments and modifications described below. Hereinafter, when the sensors SA1 to SA7 included in the first sensor group 10A are not to be distinguished from one another, they will be simply referred to as "sensors SA." The sensor SA is a sensor, such as an acceleration sensor, that can detect vibrations occurring on each floor of the building 1000. The sensor SA is an example of a "first system vibration detection sensor."
[0027] In this application, "installed on the floor" is not limited to installation on the floor surface, but also includes installation inside the floor (between the floor surface of a certain floor and the ceiling surface of the floor below). Also, each sensor SA is not limited to being installed on the floor of each floor, but may be installed on the ceiling, beams, walls, etc. of each floor. The same applies to the second sensor group 10B.
[0028] The first to seventh sensors SA1 to SA7 included in the first sensor group 10A are cascade-connected by a cable CA. That is, the seventh sensor SA7 is connected to the sixth sensor SA6 by a cable CA. The sixth sensor SA6 is connected to the fifth sensor SA5 by a cable CA. Similarly, the fifth to third sensors SA5 to SA3 are connected to sensors SA on the odd-numbered floor one floor below by cables CA. The second sensor SA2 is connected to the first sensor SA1 by a cable CA. The first sensor SA1 is connected to the first information processing device 20A by a cable CA. In other words, the second to seventh sensors SA2 to SA7 are not directly connected to the first information processing device 20A. For example, the detection result (measurement data) of the seventh sensor SA7 is output to the first information processing device 20A via the sixth sensor SA6, the fifth sensor SA5, the fourth sensor SA4, the third sensor SA3, the second sensor SA2, and the first sensor SA1 in this order. The detection result of the seventh sensor SA7 is associated with identification information (such as the ID of the seventh sensor SA7) indicating that it is the detection result of the seventh sensor SA7, and is transmitted from the seventh sensor SA7 to the first information processing device 20A. This also applies to the other sensors SA.
[0029] The second sensor group 10B includes, for example, first to eighth sensors SB1 to SB8. The first sensor SB1 is installed, for example, on the floor of the first floor 101, similar to the first sensor SA1 of the first sensor group 10A. On the other hand, the second to seventh sensors SB2 to SB7 are installed, for example, on the floors of the even-numbered floors of the building 1000. That is, the second sensor SB2 is installed, for example, on the floor of the second floor 102. The third sensor SB3 is installed, for example, on the floor of the fourth floor 104. Similarly, the fourth to seventh sensors SB4 to SB7 are installed, for example, on the floors of the sixth floor 106, the eighth floor 108, ..., the twelfth floor 112. The eighth sensor SB8 is installed on the rooftop 100R. Hereinafter, when the sensors SB1 to SB8 included in the second sensor group 10B are not to be distinguished from one another, they will be simply referred to as "sensors SB." The sensors SB are sensors capable of detecting vibrations occurring on each floor of a building, such as acceleration sensors. The sensor SB is an example of a “second system vibration detection sensor.” In this embodiment, the sensor SB is provided on a plurality of floors of the building 1000, at least some of which are different from the sensor SA.
[0030] The first to eighth sensors SB1 to SB8 included in the second sensor group 10B are cascade-connected by a cable CB. That is, the eighth sensor SB8 is connected to the seventh sensor SB7 by the cable CB. The seventh sensor SB7 is connected to the sixth sensor SB6 by the cable CB. Similarly, the sixth to third sensors SB6 to SB3 are connected to sensors SB on the even-numbered floors one floor below by the cable CB. The second sensor SB2 is connected to the first sensor SB1 by the cable CB. The first sensor SB1 is connected to the second information processing device 20B by the cable CB. In other words, the second to eighth sensors SB2 to SB8 are not directly connected to the second information processing device 20B. For example, the detection result (measurement data) of the eighth sensor SB8 is output to the second information processing device 20B via the seventh sensor SB7, the sixth sensor SB6, the fifth sensor SB5, the fourth sensor SB4, the third sensor SB3, the second sensor SB2, and the first sensor SB1 in this order. The detection result of the eighth sensor SB8 is associated with identification information (such as the ID of the eighth sensor SA) indicating that it is the detection result of the eighth sensor SB8, and is transmitted from the eighth sensor SB8 to the second information processing device 20B. This also applies to the other sensors SB.
[0031] As described above, in this embodiment, the sensors SA and the sensors SB are provided alternately in the height direction of the building 1000. The building 1000 has a plurality of floors on which only either the first system sensor SA or the second system sensor SB is arranged.
[0032] The sensors SA and SB are installed in approximately the same location on each floor. For example, if the sensor SA is installed on the floor of each floor, the sensor SB is also installed on the floor of each floor. If the sensor SA is installed on the ceiling of each floor, the sensor SB is also installed on the ceiling of each floor. It is also preferable that the sensors SA and SB are installed in approximately the same location in the planar direction of each floor. For example, when viewed from above, one or more sensors SA and one or more sensors SB are arranged in positions where they overlap each other.
[0033] 3.2 Example of sensor SA and SB placement from a certain viewpoint Here, an example of the arrangement of the sensors SA and SB from a certain viewpoint will be described. The building 1000 includes a first floor (e.g., the third floor 103) and a second floor (e.g., the fourth floor 104) adjacent to the first floor. The sensor SA of the first system includes a first vibration detection sensor (e.g., the second sensor SA2) and a second vibration detection sensor (e.g., the third sensor SA3) arranged to sandwich the first and second floors. The sensor SB of the second system includes a third vibration detection sensor (e.g., the second sensor SB2) and a fourth vibration detection sensor (e.g., the third sensor SB3) arranged to sandwich at least the first floor. From this viewpoint, the second sensor SB2 is not limited to being provided on the floor of the second floor 102, and may be provided on the floor of the third floor 103.
[0034] Here, in the present application, the phrase "sandwiching a floor" is used to mean "sandwiching at least a part of a floor." That is, for example, the third floor 103 is sandwiched between a second sensor SA2 provided on the floor of the third floor 103 and a third sensor SA3 provided on the floor of the fifth floor 105.
[0035] <3.3 Example of sensor SA and SB placement from another perspective> An example of the arrangement of sensors SA and SB from another perspective will be described. The building 1000 includes a first floor (e.g., third floor 103), a second floor (e.g., fourth floor 104) adjacent to the first floor, and a third floor (second floor 102) adjacent to the first floor on the opposite side of the second floor. The sensor SA of the first system includes a first vibration detection sensor (e.g., second sensor SA2) and a second vibration detection sensor (e.g., third sensor SA3) arranged to sandwich the first and second floors. The sensor SB of the second system includes a third vibration detection sensor (e.g., second sensor SB2) and a fourth vibration detection sensor (e.g., third sensor SB3) arranged to sandwich the first and third floors.
[0036] 4. First Information Processing Device and Second Information Processing Device Next, the first information processing device 20A and the second information processing device 20B will be described. Each of the first information processing device 20A and the second information processing device 20B is, for example, an information processing device such as a personal computer. Each of the first information processing device 20A and the second information processing device 20B includes an operation unit 100 (see FIG. 2) and a display device 200 (see FIG. 2). The operation unit 100 may be, for example, a keyboard or a mouse, or may be a touch input type (touch panel type) input device integrated with the display device 200. The display device 200 is, for example, a liquid crystal display, an organic EL (Electro-Luminescence) display, a plasma display, or the like, and has a display screen on which images and videos are displayed. The first information processing device 20A and the second information processing device 20B are installed, for example, on the first floor 101 of a building 1000, similar to the sensors SA1 and SB1. The first information processing device 20A and the second information processing device 20B may be provided outside the building 1000 (for example, in a data monitoring room that exists separately from the building 1000).
[0037] <5. Functional configuration of building health verification system> 2 is a block diagram showing the functional configuration of the building soundness verification system 1. In this embodiment, the first information processing device 20A and the second information processing device 20B are not connected to each other and are completely independent. Furthermore, the timings for software restart and software update are set to different times in the first information processing device 20A and the second information processing device 20B. The first information processing device 20A includes a first verification unit 300A. Meanwhile, the second information processing device 20B includes a second verification unit 300B.
[0038] <5.1 First Verification Section> First, the first verification unit 300A will be described. The first verification unit 300A includes, for example, a first information processing unit 302A, a first input unit 304A, a first output unit 306A, and a first storage unit 308A. Some or all of the functional units of the first verification unit 300A (e.g., the first information processing unit 302A, the first input unit 304A, and the first output unit 306A) are implemented by, for example, a processor such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit) installed in the first information processing device 20A executing a program (software) stored in the first storage unit 308A. Note that some or all of these functional units may be implemented by hardware such as an LSI (Large Scale Integration), an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), or an FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array), or may be implemented by a combination of software and hardware. The first storage unit 308A is implemented by, for example, a semiconductor storage device such as an HDD (Hard Disk Drive) or a flash memory.
[0039] Here, the first input unit 304A and the first storage unit 308A will be described first. The first input unit 304A writes installation floor information 308Aa of the first system sensor SA to the first storage unit 308A based on an operation by an administrator (user) on the operation unit 100 of the first information processing device 20A. The installation floor information 308Aa of the first system sensor SA is information indicating the multiple floors of the building 1000 on which the first system sensors SA (first to seventh sensors SA1 to SA7) are installed (i.e., information indicating on which floor in the building 1000 the sensors SA are installed).
[0040] Next, the first information processing unit 302A will be described. When seismic motion is input to the building 1000, the first information processing unit 302A calculates the seismic intensity of the earthquake at the location where the building 1000 is located based on the measurement data of the first sensor SA1 of the first system. The method for calculating the seismic intensity of the earthquake is the same as the method used by the Japan Meteorological Agency to calculate seismic intensity, for example. Information indicating the seismic intensity calculated by the first information processing unit 302A is sent to the first output unit 306A.
[0041] Furthermore, when seismic motion is input to the building 1000, the first information processing unit 302A verifies the soundness of each floor of the building 1000 based on the measurement data of the sensors SA of the first system (first to seventh sensors SA1 to SA7). In this embodiment, the first information processing unit 302A verifies the soundness of each floor of the building 1000 based on the measurement data of the sensors SA of the first system (first to seventh sensors SA1 to SA7) and installation floor information 308Aa of the sensors SA of the first system stored in the first storage unit 308A. Note that in this application, "verifying the soundness of each floor" also includes a case where the soundness of multiple floors (e.g., 3F 103 and 4F 104) sandwiched between two adjacent sensors included in the same system, either the first system or the second system, is collectively verified.
[0042] In this embodiment, the first information processing unit 302A collectively verifies the soundness (e.g., the presence or absence and degree of damage) of the first floor 101 and the second floor 102 based on the measurement data of the first sensor SA1 and the second sensor SA2 and installation floor information 308Aa indicating the installation floors of the first sensor SA1 and the second sensor SA2. Similarly, the first information processing unit 302A collectively verifies the soundness (e.g., the presence or absence and degree of damage) of the third floor 103 and the fourth floor 104 based on the measurement data of the second sensor SA2 and the third sensor SA3 and installation floor information 308Aa indicating the installation floors of the second sensor SA2 and the third sensor SA3. The first information processing unit 302A also collectively verifies the soundness (e.g., the presence or absence and extent of damage) of the fifth floor 105 and the sixth floor 106 based on the measurement data of the third sensor SA3 and the fourth sensor SA4 and installation floor information 308Aa indicating the floors on which the third sensor SA3 and the fourth sensor SA4 are installed. The same applies to the other floors. Information indicating the soundness of each floor verified by the first information processing unit 302A is sent to the first output unit 306A.
[0043] Here, an example of a method for verifying the soundness of a certain floor (e.g., the third floor 103) is as follows. For example, acceleration included in measurement data from two sensors SA2 and SA3 arranged on either side of the verification target floor (the third floor 103) is integrated twice to calculate the displacement in the acceleration direction of the installation locations of each sensor SA2 and SA3. Furthermore, the height distance between the two sensors SA2 and SA3 is calculated based on the installation floor information 308Aa. Then, the difference between the displacement in the acceleration direction of the installation locations of the two sensors SA2 and SA3 is divided by the height distance between the two sensors SA2 and SA3 to calculate the inter-story deformation angle Δ (radian) when the third floor 103 and the fourth floor 104 are considered as one floor. The first information processing unit compares the calculated inter-story deformation angle Δ (radian) with a predetermined threshold value stored in the first storage unit 308A to determine the soundness of the third floor 103 and the fourth floor 104 (e.g., the presence and degree of damage).
[0044] Note that details and variations of the method for verifying the soundness of each floor may use the methods disclosed in one or more of the "Building Safety Verification System and Building Safety Verification Method (Patent Publication No. 2014-134436)," "Building Soundness Evaluation System and Building Soundness Evaluation Method (Patent Publication No. 2017-227507)," and "Building Earthquake Resistance Evaluation System and Building Earthquake Resistance Evaluation Method (Patent Publication No. 2014-16249)," all of which have been previously proposed by the present applicant. Alternatively, the soundness of each floor may be verified by performing a simulation analysis using a mass system model of building 1000.
[0045] When the methods disclosed in the above-mentioned documents are applied, the first sensor group 10A and the second sensor group 10B may each include a vibration sensor and an inclination sensor provided on the roof 100R. In this case, the vibration sensor and the inclination sensor included in the first sensor group 10A are cascade-connected to the first sensor SA, for example. The vibration sensor and the inclination sensor included in the second sensor group 10B are cascade-connected to the second sensor SB, for example.
[0046] The first output unit 306A displays, on the display device 200 of the first information processing device 20A, information indicating the seismic intensity of the earthquake calculated by the first information processing unit 302A and the soundness of each floor (for example, the presence or absence and degree of damage) verified (determined) by the first information processing unit 302A. The information displayed on the display device 200 of the first information processing device 20A is an example of a first verification result based on the sensor SA of the first system.
[0047] FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of the contents of the verification result displayed on the display device 200. In this embodiment, the soundness of multiple floors (multiple layers) verified collectively by the first information processing unit 302A is displayed with the same contents. For example, if it is determined that the third floor 103 and the fourth floor 104 are severely damaged based on the measurement data of the second sensor SA2 and the third sensor SA3, information IM1 indicating that the third floor 103 and the fourth floor 104 are severely damaged is displayed on the display device 200. Note that details and variations of the contents displayed on the display device 200 can be, for example, those disclosed in one or more of the above three documents (JP 2014-134436 A, JP 2017-227507 A, and JP 2014-16249 A).
[0048] <5.2 Second Verification Section> Next, the second verification unit 300B will be described. The second verification unit 300B includes, for example, a second information processing unit 302B, a second input unit 304B, a second output unit 306B, and a second storage unit 308B. Some or all of the functional units of the second verification unit 300B (e.g., the second information processing unit 302B, the second input unit 304B, and the second output unit 306B) are implemented by a processor such as a CPU installed in the second information processing device 20B executing a program (software) stored in the second storage unit 308B. Note that some or all of these functional units may be implemented by hardware such as an LSI, ASIC, or FPGA, or may be implemented by a combination of software and hardware. The second storage unit 308B is implemented by, for example, a semiconductor storage device such as an HDD or flash memory.
[0049] Here, the second input unit 304B and the second storage unit 308B will be described first. The second input unit 304B writes installation floor information 308Ba of the second system sensors SB to the second storage unit 308B based on an administrator's operation on the operation unit 100 of the second information processing device 20B. The installation floor information 308Ba of the second system sensors SB is information indicating the multiple floors of the building 1000 on which the second system sensors SB (first to eighth sensors SB1 to SB8) are installed (i.e., information indicating on which floors of the building 1000 the sensors SB are installed).
[0050] Next, the second information processing unit 302B will be described. When seismic motion is input to the building 1000, the second information processing unit 302B calculates the seismic intensity of the earthquake at the location where the building 1000 is located based on the measurement data of the first sensor SB1 of the second system. The method for calculating the seismic intensity of the earthquake is the same as the method used by the Japan Meteorological Agency, for example. Information indicating the seismic intensity calculated by the second information processing unit 302B is sent to the second output unit 306B.
[0051] Furthermore, when seismic motion is input to the building 1000, the second information processing unit 302B verifies the soundness of each floor of the building 1000 based on the measurement data of the second system sensors SB (first to eighth sensors SB1 to SB8). In this embodiment, the second information processing unit 302B verifies the soundness of each floor of the building 1000 based on the measurement data of the second system sensors SB (first to eighth sensors SB1 to SB8) and installation floor information 308Ba of the second system sensors SB stored in the second storage unit 308B.
[0052] In this embodiment, the second information processing unit 302B verifies the soundness (e.g., the presence and extent of damage) of the first floor 101 based on the measurement data of the first sensor SB1 and the second sensor SB2 and installation floor information 308Ba indicating the floors on which the first sensor SB1 and the second sensor SB2 are installed. The second information processing unit 302B also collectively verifies the soundness (e.g., the presence and extent of damage) of the second floor 102 and the third floor 103 based on the measurement data of the second sensor SB2 and the third sensor SB3 and installation floor information 308Ba indicating the floors on which the second sensor SB2 and the third sensor SB3 are installed. Similarly, the second information processing unit 302B verifies the soundness (e.g., the presence and extent of damage) of the fourth floor 104 and the fifth floor 105 based on the measurement data of the third sensor SB3 and the fourth sensor SB4 and installation floor information 308Ba indicating the floors on which the third sensor SB3 and the fourth sensor SB4 are installed. The same applies to the other floors. The information indicating the soundness of each floor verified by the second information processing unit 302B is sent to the second output unit 306B. Note that the method of verifying the soundness by the second information processing unit 302B is the same as the method of detecting the soundness by the first information processing unit 302A.
[0053] The second output unit 306B displays information indicating the seismic intensity of the earthquake calculated by the second information processing unit 302B and the soundness of each floor (for example, the presence or absence and degree of damage) verified (determined) by the second information processing unit 302B on the display device 200 of the second information processing device 20B. Note that the content displayed on the display device 200 of the second information processing device 20B by the second output unit 306B is the same as the content displayed on the display device 200 of the first information processing device 20A by the first output unit 306A. The information displayed on the display device 200 of the second information processing device 20B is an example of a second verification result based on the sensor SB of the second system.
[0054] The above-described processes by the first information processing device 20A and the second information processing device 20B are performed independently (for example, in parallel) when seismic motion is input to the building 1000. The verification result by the first information processing device 20A (verification result by the first system) is displayed on the display device 200 of the first information processing device 20A. The verification result by the second information processing device 20B (verification result by the second system) is displayed on the display screen of the second information processing device 20B. The administrator can check either or both of the content displayed on the display device 200 of the first information processing device 20A and the content displayed on the display device 200 of the second information processing device 20B to grasp the soundness of the building 1000 (for example, the presence and extent of damage).
[0055] <6. Manufacturing method of building integrity verification system> Next, a description will be given of a manufacturing method of the building soundness inspection system 1. Here, a description will be given of a method of renovating a state in which a plurality of sensors S (sensors S1 to S14) are already installed in a building 1000 to a state in which the building soundness inspection system 1 is installed.
[0056] FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of a building soundness verification system Z before renovation. The building soundness verification system Z before renovation includes, for example, a sensor group 10 and an information processing device 20 including a verification unit 300. The sensor group 10 includes, for example, sensors S1 to S14. The sensors S1 to S14 are arranged one by one on each floor (for example, on all floors) of the building 1000. Hereinafter, when the sensors S1 to S14 are not distinguished from one another, they will be simply referred to as "sensor S." The sensor S is a sensor capable of detecting vibrations occurring on each floor of the building 1000, such as an acceleration sensor. The sensor S is an example of a "vibration detection sensor." The sensors S1 to S14 are cascade-connected by a cable C.
[0057] The information processing device 20 includes an operation unit 100, a display device 200, and a verification unit 300. The verification unit 300 verifies the soundness of each floor of the building 1000 based on measurement data from sensors S1 to S14. The verification unit 300 is an example of a "first verification unit" from one perspective.
[0058] FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of the process of upgrading a pre-renovation building soundness inspection system Z into a building soundness inspection system 1. As shown in FIG. 5, in this renovation, one sensor SB1 for the second system is newly installed on the first floor 101 of the building 1000. In addition, a second information processing device 20B is installed on the first floor 101 of the building 1000. Then, software (program) required to realize the first verification unit 300A is installed in the information processing device 20 (first information processing investment 20A). Similarly, software (program) required to realize the second verification unit 300B is installed in the second information processing device 20B. Note that if the first verification unit 300A can be realized by software already installed in the information processing device 20 to realize the verification unit 300, the above installation is not necessary.
[0059] In this modification, a process is performed to divide the existing sensors S1 to S14 into sensors SA of the first system and sensors SB of the second system. This division is performed, for example, by registering the sensors S1 to S14 to be used as sensors SA of the first system in the first storage unit 308A of the information processing device 20 (first information processing device 20A) based on information input using the operation unit 100 of the information processing device 20 (first information processing device 20A), and by registering the sensors S1 to S14 to be used as sensors SB of the second system in the second storage unit 308B of the second information processing device 20B based on information input using the operation unit 100 of the second information processing device 20B. In this embodiment, of the sensors S1 to S14, S1, S3, S5, S7, S9, S11, and S13 are registered as sensors SA1, SA2, SA3, SA4, SA5, SA6, and SA7 of the first system. Furthermore, of the sensors S1 to S14, S2, S4, S6, S8, S10, S12, and S14 are registered as sensors SB2, SB3, SB4, SB5, SB6, SB7, and SB8 of the second system.
[0060] Furthermore, the sensors SA1 to SA7 of the first system and the information processing device 20 (first information processing investment 20A) are cascade-connected by a cable CA as shown in Fig. 1. Similarly, the sensors SB1 to SB8 of the second system and the second information processing investment 20B are cascade-connected by a cable CB as shown in Fig. 1. In this way, the building soundness inspection system Z is modified into the building soundness inspection system 1.
[0061] It should be noted that the manufacturing method of the building soundness inspection system 1 is not limited to the above example. For example, the sensors SA and SB and the information processing devices 20A and 20B may all be newly installed in the building 1000. Furthermore, for example, the building soundness inspection system 1 may be realized by additionally installing a second system of sensor SB and information processing device 20B in a building soundness inspection system Z that already has a first system of sensor SA and information processing device 20A. These several manufacturing methods are similarly applicable to all of the embodiments and modified examples described below.
[0062] According to the configuration of the first embodiment described above, it is possible to further improve the reliability of the building integrity verification system that verifies the integrity of a building. Here, if the building integrity verification system is a single-system system, there is no redundancy, and if a malfunction occurs in part of the system, such as a sensor failure, there is a risk that monitoring of the building will not be able to continue. In other words, if an earthquake occurs by chance at the same time as a malfunction in part of the system, such as a sensor failure, it may become difficult to verify the building. Furthermore, if the building integrity verification system is a single-system system, it may become difficult to verify the building if an earthquake occurs by chance at the same time as a software restart or software update due to system maintenance.
[0063] Therefore, in this embodiment, the building soundness verification system 1 includes a first verification unit 300A that verifies the soundness of each floor of the building 1000 based on measurement data from a first system of sensors SA installed on each of the multiple floors of the building 1000, and a second verification unit 300B that verifies the soundness of each floor of the building 1000 based on measurement data from a second system of sensors SB installed on each of the multiple floors of the building 1000 that are the same as or at least partially different from the sensors SA of the first system. With this configuration, if a malfunction occurs in part of the system, such as a sensor failure, one of the first system or the second system may temporarily be unable to continue monitoring the building 1000. However, the other system can continue monitoring the building 1000. Furthermore, by staggering the timing of software restarts and updates between the information processing device 20A of the first system and the information processing device 20B of the second system, even if an earthquake occurs that coincides with the software restart or update of one of the systems, the other system can verify the soundness of the building 1000. This makes it possible to further improve the reliability of the building soundness verification system 1.
[0064] Here, in order to transmit the detection results of the sensors SA and SB installed on each floor of the building 1000 to the information processing devices 20A and 20B, it is possible to extend the cables connected to each sensor SA and SB directly to the information processing devices 20A and 20B. However, in this case, the number of cables increases as the floors become lower, which may increase the amount of work required and restrict the layout. On the other hand, in this embodiment, the sensors SA and SB installed on each floor are connected to the information processing devices 20A and 20B using the cascade connection described above. With this configuration, it is possible to reduce the amount of work required and alleviate layout restrictions.
[0065] However, in the case of a cascade connection, if one of the relay point sensors SA and SB fails, there is a possibility that the sensor detection results will not be received from floors above the failed sensor. However, in this embodiment, the first system sensor SA and the second system sensor SB are independently connected to the first information processing device 20A and the second information processing device 20B, respectively. With this configuration, even if one sensor in one system fails, the detection results of the sensors in the other system are normally sent to the information processing device. Therefore, the cascade connection can reduce work hours and layout restrictions while further improving the reliability of the building integrity verification system 1.
[0066] (Second embodiment) Next, a second embodiment will be described. The second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that at least one of the first information processing device 20A and the second information processing device 20B is provided with a comprehensive verification unit 3022 that performs a more detailed verification of the soundness of the building 1000 based on a comparison between the soundness verification result by the first information processing unit 302A and the soundness verification result by the second information processing unit 302B. Note that the configuration other than that described below is the same as that of the first embodiment.
[0067] 6 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of a building soundness verification system 1 according to the second embodiment. In this embodiment, a cable CC is provided to electrically connect the first information processing device 20A and the second information processing device 20B. That is, the first information processing device 20A and the second information processing device 20B can communicate with each other through the cable CC.
[0068] FIG. 7 is a block diagram showing the functional configuration of a building soundness verification system 1 according to a second embodiment. Here, the second information processing device 20B will be described first. The second information processing unit 302B of the second information processing device 20B according to this embodiment includes a second system verification unit 3031. The second system verification unit 3031 has the same functions as the second information processing unit 302B according to the first embodiment. That is, when seismic motion is input to the building 1000, the second system verification unit 3031 calculates the seismic intensity of the earthquake at the location where the building 1000 is located based on the measurement data of the first sensor SB1 of the second system. When seismic motion is input to the building 1000, the second system verification unit 3031 verifies the soundness (e.g., the presence and extent of damage) of each floor of the building 1000 based on the measurement data of the sensors SB of the second system (the first to eighth sensors SB1 to SB8) and the installation floor information 308Ba of the sensors SB of the second system stored in the second storage unit 308B. The calculation results and verification results by the second system verification unit 3031 are output to the first information processing unit 302A of the first information processing device 20A via the cable CC.
[0069] Next, the first information processing device 20 A will be described. The first information processing unit 302 A of the first information processing device 20 A of this embodiment has a first system verification unit 3021, a comprehensive verification unit 3022, and a fault diagnosis unit 3023, for example.
[0070] The first system verification unit 3021 has the same function as the first information processing unit 302A in the first embodiment. That is, when seismic motion is input to the building 1000, the first system verification unit 3021 calculates the seismic intensity of the earthquake at the location where the building 1000 is located based on the measurement data of the first sensor SA1 of the first system. Furthermore, when seismic motion is input to the building 1000, the first information processing unit 302A verifies the soundness (e.g., the presence or absence and degree of damage) of each floor of the building 1000 based on the measurement data of the sensors SA of the first system (the first to seventh sensors SA1 to SA7) and the installation floor information 308Aa of the sensors SA of the first system stored in the first storage unit 308A. The calculation results and verification results by the first system verification unit 3021 are output to the comprehensive verification unit 3022.
[0071] Next, a description will be given of the comprehensive verification unit 3022. The comprehensive verification unit 3022 comprehensively verifies the soundness of each floor of the building 1000 (for example, the presence or absence and degree of damage) based on the verification result obtained by the first system verification unit 3021 using the measurement data of the sensor SA of the first system and the verification result obtained by the second system verification unit 3031 using the measurement data of the sensor SB of the second system.
[0072] 8 is a diagram for explaining an example of the verification content of the overall verification unit 3022. In FIG. 8, "verification result by first system" refers to the verification result of the first system verification unit 3021 on the soundness of each floor of the building 1000 using the measurement data of the sensor SA of the first system. "verification result by second system" refers to the verification result of the second system verification unit 3031 on the soundness of each floor of the building 1000 using the measurement data of the sensor SB of the second system. "Overall verification result" refers to the verification result by the overall verification unit 3022.
[0073] The comprehensive verification unit 3022 compares the verification results by the first system verification unit 3021 with the verification results by the second system verification unit 3031, and verifies with higher accuracy which floors (layers) actually have damage among the multiple floors (layers) whose soundness has been verified collectively by the first system verification unit 3021 and the multiple floors (layers) whose soundness has been verified collectively by the second system verification unit 3031. For example, the comprehensive verification unit 3022 compares the verification results by the first system verification unit 3021 with the verification results by the second system verification unit 3031 for each floor (layer). When the verification result by the first system verification unit 3021 and the verification result by the second system verification unit 3031 differ for a floor (layer) to be verified (for example, when the degree of damage differs), the comprehensive verification unit 3022 determines, for example, the smaller of the verification result by the first system verification unit 3021 and the verification result by the second system verification unit 3031 as the comprehensive verification result for that floor (layer). On the other hand, when the verification result by the first system verification unit 3021 and the verification result by the second system verification unit 3031 for a floor (layer) to be verified are the same (for example, when the degree of damage is the same), the comprehensive verification unit 3022 determines, for example, the verification result by the first system verification unit 3021 (or the verification result by the second system verification unit 3031) as the comprehensive verification result for that floor (layer).
[0074] In the example shown in FIG. 8 , the verification results by the first system verification unit 3021 verify the ninth floor 109 and the tenth floor 110 together and determine that the degree of damage is “large.” On the other hand, the verification results by the second system verification unit 3031 verify the eighth floor 108 and the ninth floor 109 together and determine that the degree of damage is “large,” and verify the tenth floor 110 and the eleventh floor 111 together and determine that the degree of damage is “medium.” In this case, the comprehensive verification unit 3022 determines that the degree of damage for the ninth floor 109 is “large” and that the degree of damage for the tenth floor 110 is “medium.” In other words, for example, if a structural member on the ninth floor 109 is damaged, the damaged floor can be identified based on the detection results of the second system sensor SB6 installed on the tenth floor 110 and the first system sensor SA6 installed on the eleventh floor 111. The verification result by the comprehensive verification unit 3022 is output to the first output unit 306A.
[0075] However, the verification method by the comprehensive verification unit 3022 is not limited to the above example. For example, when the verification result by the first system verification unit 3021 and the verification result by the second system verification unit 3031 differ for a floor (layer) to be verified (for example, when the degree of damage differs), the comprehensive verification unit 3022 may determine, as the comprehensive verification result for that floor (layer), the larger of the verification result by the first system verification unit 3021 and the verification result by the second system verification unit 3031. In this case, in the example shown in Fig. 8, the degree of damage for the 8th floor 108 to the 10th floor 110 may be determined to be "large."
[0076] Next, the fault diagnosis unit 3023 will be described. The fault diagnosis unit 3023 diagnoses the pass / fail of each verification unit of the first verification unit 300A and the second verification unit 300B based on the verification result of the first verification unit 300A (the detection result of the first system verification unit 3021) and the verification result of the second verification unit 300B (the verification result of the second system verification unit 3031). In this embodiment, the fault diagnosis unit 3023 diagnoses the pass / fail of the first system verification unit 3021 and the second system verification unit 3031 based on a comparison between the verification result of the first system verification unit 3021 and the verification result of the second system verification unit 3031. The pass / fail diagnosis described below may be performed at a predetermined interval even during normal times, or may be performed when seismic motion is input to the building 1000. This diagnosis can be performed even during normal times because the sensors SA and SB receive input of minute vibrations of the building 1000 due to wind even during normal times.
[0077] For example, the fault diagnosis unit 3023 compares the verification results (e.g., the degree of damage) for each floor of the building 1000 by the first system verification unit 3021 with the verification results (the degree of damage to the building) for each floor of the building 1000 by the second system verification unit 3031. If the difference between the verification results for a certain floor of the building 1000 by the first system verification unit 3021 and the verification results for the same floor of the building 1000 by the second system verification unit 3031 is equal to or greater than a threshold value, the fault diagnosis unit 3023 diagnoses that there is an abnormality in the sensor SA or sensor SB corresponding to that floor.
[0078] FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example of the fault diagnosis content of the fault diagnosis unit 3023. For example, FIG. 9 illustrates a graph plotting a difference value d between the verification results (e.g., the degree of damage) for each floor of the building 1000 by the first system verification unit 3021 and the verification results (e.g., the degree of damage to the building) for each floor of the building 1000 by the second system verification unit 3031. Line BL in FIG. 9 indicates a reference line where the difference value d is zero. Lines th1 and th2 on both sides of line BL indicate thresholds for determining whether the sensors SA and SB are abnormal. Lines th1 and th2 are examples of "diagnostic criteria for diagnosing the pass / fail of each verification unit of the first verification unit 300A and the second verification unit 300B based on the verification results of the first verification unit 300A and the second verification unit 300B." This diagnostic criterion (the values of lines th1 and th2) is stored as diagnostic criterion information 308Ab, for example, in the first storage unit 308A.
[0079] 9, the difference value da between the verification results for the fifth to eighth floors 105-108 by the first system verification unit 3021 and the verification results for the fifth to eighth floors 105-108 by the second system verification unit 3031 exceeds the threshold value th2. On the other hand, the difference value d between the verification results for the fourth floor 104 and the ninth floor 109 by the first system verification unit 3021 and the verification results for the fourth floor 104 and the ninth floor 109 by the second system verification unit 3031 falls within the range between the threshold values th1 and th2. In this case, the fault diagnosis unit 3023 diagnoses that there is no abnormality in the sensor SB4 installed on the sixth floor 106 (a sensor that affects the verification result for the fourth floor 104) or the sensor SB5 installed on the eighth floor 108 (a sensor that affects the verification result for the ninth floor 109), but that there is an abnormality in the sensor SA4 installed on the seventh floor 107. The diagnosis result by the fault diagnosis unit 3023 is output to the first output unit 306A and the comprehensive verification unit 3022.
[0080] When the failure diagnosis unit 3023 diagnoses an abnormality in a specific sensor, the comprehensive verification unit 3022 ignores the verification results by the first system verification unit 3021 and the second system verification unit 3031 that relate to the sensor diagnosed as abnormal, and verifies the soundness of each floor of the building 1000. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 9 (where the sensor SA4 located on the seventh floor 107 is diagnosed as abnormal), the comprehensive verification unit 3022 ignores the verification results by the first system verification unit 3021 for the fifth to eighth floors 105-108, and adopts the verification results by the second system verification unit 3031 for the fifth to eighth floors 105-108 as the verification result of the building 1000 by the comprehensive verification unit 3022. Note that when either the sensor SA or SB is provided on each floor as in this embodiment, the range of influence caused when one sensor fails can be reduced.
[0081] The first output unit 306A outputs and displays information indicating the soundness (e.g., the presence or absence and degree of damage) of each floor of the building 1000 verified by the comprehensive verification unit 3022 on the display device 200 of the first information processing device 20A. In other words, the first output unit 306A is an example of a "verification result output unit that outputs a building soundness verification result based on the verification result by the first verification unit 300A using the measurement data of the sensor SA of the first system and the verification result by the second verification unit 300B using the measurement data of the sensor SB of the second system."
[0082] Furthermore, the first output unit 306A causes information indicating the diagnosis results by the fault diagnosis unit 3023 to be displayed on the display device 200 of the first information processing device 20A. The information displayed on the display device 200 by the first output unit 306A may be accompanied by information indicating the presence or absence of an abnormality in each of the sensors SA and SB diagnosed by the fault diagnosis unit 3023, or only a graph as shown in FIG. 9 may be displayed. When only a graph is displayed, the administrator can check the presence or absence of an abnormality in the sensors SA and SB by looking at the graph. Furthermore, instead of or in addition to displaying on the display device 200 the information indicating the soundness (e.g., the presence and extent of damage) of each floor of the building 1000 verified by the comprehensive verification unit 3022 and the information indicating the diagnosis results by the fault diagnosis unit 3023, the first output unit 306A may print and output the information on paper.
[0083] According to this configuration, similarly to the first embodiment, it is possible to further improve the reliability of the building soundness verification system 1. Furthermore, in this embodiment, a soundness verification result of the building 1000 is output based on the verification result obtained by the first verification unit 300A using the measurement data of the sensor SA of the first system and the verification result obtained by the second verification unit 300B using the measurement data of the sensor SB of the second system. According to this configuration, it is possible to obtain information with higher accuracy (for example, information with higher resolution) than when the verification result obtained by the first verification unit 300A using the measurement data of the sensor SA of the first system and the verification result obtained by the second verification unit 300B using the measurement data of the sensor SB of the second system are viewed individually.
[0084] In this embodiment, the first verification unit 300A and the second verification unit 300B have predetermined diagnostic criteria for diagnosing the pass / fail of each verification unit based on the verification results of the first verification unit 300A and the second verification unit 300B. With this configuration, the first verification unit 300A and the second verification unit 300B can be used to quickly discover faults in each other.
[0085] (Third embodiment) Next, a third embodiment will be described. The third embodiment differs from the second embodiment in that a third information processing device 40 is provided in addition to the first information processing device 20A and the second information processing device 20B. Note that the configuration other than that described below is the same as that of the second embodiment.
[0086] FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of the configuration of a building soundness inspection system 1 according to a third embodiment. In this embodiment, the building soundness inspection system 1 includes, for example, a first information processing device 20A′, a second information processing device 20B′, and a third information processing device 40. The first information processing device 20A′ includes a first verification unit 300A but does not include an operation unit 100 or a display device 200. The verification result of the first verification unit 300A (the verification result by the first system verification unit 3021) is output to the third information processing device 40. Similarly, the second information processing device 20B′ includes a second verification unit 300B but does not include an operation unit 100 or a display device 200. The verification result of the second verification unit 300B (the verification result by the second system verification unit 3031) is output to the third information processing device 40.
[0087] The third information processing device 40 has, for example, an information processing unit 402, an input unit 404, an output unit 406, and a storage unit 408. Some or all of the functional units of the third information processing device 40 (for example, the information processing unit 402, the input unit 404, and the output unit 406) are realized by a processor such as a CPU mounted on the third information processing device 40 executing a program (software) stored in the storage unit 408. Note that some or all of these functional units may be realized by hardware such as an LSI, ASIC, or FPGA, or may be realized by a combination of software and hardware. The second storage unit 308B is realized by, for example, a semiconductor storage device such as an HDD or flash memory.
[0088] The information processing unit 402 includes a comprehensive verification unit 3022 and a fault diagnosis unit 3023. The details of the processing of the comprehensive verification unit 3022 and the fault diagnosis unit 3023 are the same as those in the second embodiment.
[0089] Based on the administrator's operation on the operation unit 100, the input unit 404 writes the installation floor information 308Aa of the first system sensor SA to the first memory unit 308A of the first information processing device 20A, and writes the installation floor information 308ba of the second system sensor SB to the second memory unit 308B of the second information processing device 20B.
[0090] The output unit 406 causes the display device 200 of the third information processing device 40 to display information indicating the seismic intensity of the earthquake calculated by the first information processing unit 302A and the soundness of each floor (for example, the presence or absence and the degree of damage) verified (determined) by the first information processing unit 302A. In addition, the output unit 406 causes the display device 200 of the third information processing device 40 to display information indicating the seismic intensity of the earthquake calculated by the second information processing unit 302B and the soundness of each floor (for example, the presence or absence and the degree of damage) verified (determined) by the second information processing unit 302B.
[0091] Moreover, instead of / in addition to the above content, the output unit 406, like the first output unit 306A of the second embodiment, causes the display device 200 of the third information processing device 40 to display information indicating the soundness of each floor of the building 1000 verified by the comprehensive verification unit 3022 (for example, the presence or absence and degree of damage). Also, like the first output unit 306A of the second embodiment, the first output unit 306A outputs information indicating the diagnosis result by the fault diagnosis unit 3023 to the display device 200 of the first information processing device 20A and causes it to be displayed.
[0092] According to this configuration, similarly to the second embodiment, the reliability of the building soundness assessment system 1 can be further improved.
[0093] (Variation) Next, modifications of the first to third embodiments will be described with reference to FIGS.
[0094] (First Modification) 11, the sensors SA (or sensors SB) do not need to be provided on every other floor of the building 1000, and may be arranged at intervals of every two floors, every three floors, or even more. In the example shown in FIG. 11, sensors SB are provided on floors (layers) on which sensors SA are not provided. However, the building 1000 may have floors (layers) that do not have both sensors SA and SB.
[0095] (Second Modification) 12, the sensors SA (or sensors SB) may be provided at unequal intervals on multiple floors (layers). For example, the sensors SA (or sensors SB) may be provided every other floor or every third floor on some floors (layers), and every third floor or more on other floors (layers).
[0096] (Third Modification) 13, the sensors SB (or sensors SA) do not need to be installed over the entire height of the building 1000, but may be installed intensively in parts of the building 1000 that are likely to be damaged. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 13, the first system of sensors SA can perform a rough inspection of the entire building 1000. On the other hand, the second system of sensors SB can perform a concentrated inspection of parts of the building 1000 that are likely to be damaged.
[0097] (Fourth Modification) As shown in FIG. 14, the sensors SA and SB may be provided on all floors (all levels) of the building 1000, respectively.
[0098] The building integrity verification system 1, the building integrity evaluation method, and the manufacturing method for the building integrity verification system 1 according to the embodiments and modifications have been described above, but the embodiments are not limited to the above examples. Furthermore, "based on XX" in this application means "based on at least XX" and includes cases where it is based on other elements in addition to XX. Furthermore, "based on XX" is not limited to cases where XX is used directly, but also includes cases where it is based on XX that has been calculated or processed. "XX" is any element (for example, any information). [Explanation of symbols]
