A Practitioner’s Guide to Small Unmanned Aerial Systems for Bridge Inspection
Small unmanned aerial system(s) (sUAS) are rapidly emerging as a practical means of performing bridge inspections. Under the right condition, sUAS assisted inspections can be safer, faster, and less costly than manned inspections.

Automatic Crack Segmentation for UAV-Assisted Bridge Inspection
Bridges are a critical piece of infrastructure in the network of road and rail transport system. Many of the bridges in Norway (in Europe) are at the end of their lifespan, therefore regular inspection and maintenance are critical to ensure the safety of

Bridge distress caused by approach embankment settlement [PDF]
Surtees Bridge, which carries the A66(T) over the River Tees near Thornaby-on-Tees in the UK, has been showing signs of distress that predate its opening in 1981.

Unique biological samples, such as site‐specific mutant proteins, are available only in limited quantities. Here, we present a polarization‐resolved transient infrared spectroscopy setup with referencing to improve signal‐to‐noise tailored towards tracing small signals. We provide an overview of characterizing the excitation conditions for polarization‐

Flaw recognition in reinforced concrete bridges using infrared thermography: A case study
Infrared thermography is a non-destructive test that is increasingly used in the inspection of existing buildings, bridges, and civil works. However, its practice is limited due to the influence of environmental conditions on the results of the test ...

Visual inspection and bridge management [PDF]
AbstractThis paper estimates visual inspection quantitatively prior to its implementation in a Bridge Management System using a Value of Information (VoI) approach employing a Bayesian pre-posterior analysis. Information from a significant number of real bridges from Ireland and Portugal are considered in this regard following existing commercial ...
