Abstract
This paper presents the assessment of the strength at early age and automatic curing of concrete using the IoT (Internet of things). IoT can be used for SHM (structural health monitoring) and for other civil engineering applications. Evaluating the strength of concrete structures at early age is very important for a structural engineer, similarly the controlling the waste of water during continuous curing of concrete done manually is also a matter of concern. So the concept of assessing the early age strength using smart rock sensor and automatic curing using moisture sensors are installed to address the above issues in construction. The functioning of these entire processes can be monitored and controlled from remote location.
