Concrete Pavement Service Condition Assessment Using Infrared Thermography

Condition Monitoring of Fault Diagnosis under Lubrication Condition in Ball Bearing using Infrared Thermography

In this paper, the novel approach for the rotating machine as diagnosis method in detecting the faults during its operation was proposed based upon the infrared thermograph technique. As experimental works, by performing the test of operation at several lubrication conditions for the ball bearing applied in the rotating machine which there has been used broadly, diagnosis evaluation and fault a...

Bridge Assessment Methods Using Image Processing and Infrared Thermography Technology

Identifying appropriate applications for technology to assess the health and safety of bridges is an important issue for bridge owners around the world. Traditionally, highway bridge conditions have been monitored through visual inspection methods with structural deficiencies being manually identified and classified by qualified engineers and inspectors. More advanced and objective bridge inspe...

Concrete Bridge Deck Condition Assessment Using Robotic System Rabit

Development and implementation of RABIT (Robotics Assisted Bridge Inspection Tool) in condition assessment concrete bridge decks is described. The system uses multiple nondestructive evaluation (NDE) technologies in characterization of three most common deterioration types: rebar corrosion, delamination, and concrete degradation. The system implements four NDE technologies: electrical resistivi...

DETECTING DEFECTS in REINFORCED CONCRETE USING the METHOD of INFRARED THERMOGRAPHY

This paper presents a method for detecting defects in reinforced concrete structures by using the method of active infrared (IR) thermography. Non-destructive testing using infrared (IR) thermography consists of thermal stimulation of the object of interest and monitoring of the surface temperature variation during the transient cooling or heating process. The paper includes short descriptions ...
