A significant number of rescue workers are killed or injured each year as they conduct searches within damaged or burning structures, unaware that the structure is in imminent danger of collapse. The present invention provides a system and method for detecting and monitoring structural damages which are irreversible and which lead to inevitable collapse of a building or structure. The system includes at least one accelerometer that is housed in a device that is mounted on an exterior surface outside the burn area, and within the reach of the rescue worker. The device communicates with a remote display that provides visual and/or audible signals to indicate imminent collapse of the structure.
Un grand nombre de sauveteurs sont tués ou blessés chaque année au cours de leurs travaux de recherche dans des structures endommagées ou incendiées, inconscients du danger imminent d'effondrement de la structure. La présente invention concerne ainsi un système et un procédé de détection et de surveillance des dégâts structurels irréversibles entraînant l'effondrement inévitable d'un bâtiment ou d'une structure. Le système comprend au moins un accéléromètre logé dans un dispositif monté sur une surface extérieure en dehors de la zone d'incendie, et à la portée du sauveteur. Le dispositif communique avec un affichage à distance générant des signaux visuels et/ou audibles pour indiquer l'effondrement imminent de la structure.
