Chapter 17: Use of Computer-based Methods in Measuring Corrosion in Infrastructure Check Access

This chapter delves into the constantly evolving environment of ageing infrastructure assessment techniques, emphasizing the incorporation of computer-assisted methods. It starts by looking at conventional inspection techniques such as visual, manual, and non-destructive testing procedures. It then explores the importance of computer-based techniques for identifying corrosion in infrastructure, emphasizing the crucial role of remote sensing technologies such as drones, LiDAR, aerial and satellite imagery, as well as the incorporation of geographic information systems. The chapter also discusses the application of digital twin models and structural health monitoring systems in infrastructure management. Finally, it talks about using robotics and artificial intelligence to fight infrastructure deterioration. The chapter highlights the transformative potential of computer-based methodologies in improving the efficacy and precision of infrastructure aging assessment practices through this thorough investigation.
