Infrared thermography and 3D pavement surface unevenness measurement algorithm for damage assessment of concrete bridge decks

open access: yesComputer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, Volume 40, Issue 19, Page 2772-2792, 5 August 2025.
Abstract Deterioration of the concrete deck surface, including disintegration and delamination between the deck slab and pavement, presents significant challenges in bridge maintenance due to its hidden nature and the risk it poses to the deck's durability as damage progresses. Early detection is critical for preventing issues such as pothole formation
