摘要:
The opening of soil voids below pavement
caused by the failure of culverts and drainage
piping creates a safety hazard. More accurate
and cost-effective new non-destructive
approaches are sought to inspect roadways.
The study focuses on the experimental
validation of rapid aerial infrared
thermography (AIR_T) and unmanned aerial
systems (UASs) for detecting soil voids and
assessing the conditions of culverts and
drainage piping underneath public roadways.
Specific goals include:
Determine the accuracy of IR imaging for
field inspections to detect soil voids as a
function of depth and to detect underground
structures;
Characterize the smallest size and severity of
defects that can be detected with IR
thermography;
Define operational problems associated with
its field deployment and suggest operating
procedures to optimize the use of IR imaging
on UAS platforms;
Outperform currently used techniques such
as visual inspection and GPR.
