Hindi natin alam kung kailan tatama ang lindol. Kaya bilang paghahanda, nabuo ang isang device na kayang ma-detect ang tibay ng mga gusali at ma-monitor ang galaw nito.

00:00We don't know when the clock will strike, so as a preparation, we built a device that can detect the
00:18strength of the houses and monitor their movement.
00:22Come on, let's change the game!
00:28In a blink of an eye,
00:34houses and structures can be hit by lightning.
00:40Especially like the big one that has been experienced in the Philippines.
00:46If there is a way to detect the strength of houses and structures,
00:51just use one device.
00:58ASSURE or Universal Structural Health Evaluation and Recording System
01:05In 2016, it was started by a civil engineer, Dr. Francis Algrin Uy,
01:12who successfully completed the prototype four years after.
01:16This is one very good way to prepare our infrastructures.
01:21It's very useful before, during, and after an earthquake.
01:27The project received 45 million pesos of funding from the Department of Science and Technology,
01:33which is under the National Structural Code of the Philippines
01:36and under the supervision of the Department of Public Works and Highways.
01:40The objective of ASSURE from the start is to make this technology accessible.
01:47As of now, ASSURE is installed in 80 private and public structures.
01:53You can see that you can prevent, you can evacuate the people
01:58because they can monitor immediately if there is a movement.
02:01ASSURE has two main components, the accelerometer and the web portal.
02:07The accelerometer has a sensor that is connected to the structures for data collection.
02:14The controller is connected to the accelerometer,
02:17which consolidates and passes data to the web portal.
02:22When it arrives here, we analyze the structural integrity of the structures.
02:28So, if you guys are wondering,
02:30what are these color-coded light signals for?
02:34When it arrives here in the web portal,
02:37when it arrives in green, there is an event.
02:39There is a little movement, but it's still safe.
02:43When it arrives in orange, it says evacuate.
02:47Because the event is strong or the event is significant and the movement is strong.
02:53And when it arrives in red,
02:55here it is.
02:56The threshold or the possible movement of the building has been reached.
03:01There you have it, Kapuso.
03:03A game-changing innovation when it comes to structural health monitoring.
03:09The purpose of ASSURE is number one,
03:12to minimize the communities of vulnerability to natural disasters like earthquakes
03:17and above all, to save lives.
03:20For GMA Integrated News,
03:22I am Martin Avier,
03:23Changing the Game!
