The results of this research can contribute to advance the development of automatic monitoring and data management system applicable to tunnel construction, environmental preservation and maintenance and may support tunnel structure failure and advance safety planning. In addition, from economic and industrial perspectives, operation and maintenance costs are expected be saved as well as social costs since damages to civil structures can be addressed in advance, their service system extended and safety accidents prevented. Moreover, sensormarkets will be expanded in the wake of MEMS-based sensor development and MEMS-based sensor makers will be able to advance into a market worth USD 5 billion in 2 years. Lastly, the developed automatic stuctural health monitoring and data management technologies in this research project can be expanded to apply other civil structures (bridges or dams, etc.), resulting in mitigation of more safety hazards in construction industry as a whole
