AbstractTraditional bridge inspections are often characterized by low efficiency, high costs,
and notable safety risks. To address these challenges, this paper presents an integrated
unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-based system for automated defect ...Practical ApplicationsThis unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-based inspection system offers direct operational
benefits to bridge maintenance agencies. By integrating the proposed detection model
with a low-cost UAV platform (total hardware cost under $1,500),...

AbstractUsing fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite materials to externally retrofit civil
infrastructure is a viable long-term rehabilitation technique. However, ensuring the
structural integrity and performance of the bond line between the composite ...

Rababah, Ahmad; Avci, Onur; Pyrialakou, Dimitra; Bryce, James
AbstractStructural infrastructure plays a crucial role in contemporary urban environments
by supporting essential public and commercial functions. As both newly developed and
aging infrastructure systems expand, the need for effective monitoring and ...

Liao, Yanna; Tong, Xinyu; Yin, Yafang
AbstractThis study proposes mix transformer-enhanced UNet (MiTE-UNet), an improved UNet architecture
based on a hybrid convolutional neural network (CNN)–transformer framework, for concrete
building surface defect segmentation. The proposed model is ...Practical ApplicationsConcrete buildings such as bridges and tunnels often develop surface defects over
time, and, if not detected early, these issues may worsen and pose safety risks. Traditional
manual inspections are slow and labor-intensive and often ...
