摘要

To predict the degradation of concrete structures is extremely challenging. The typical approach combines periodic visual inspections with required non-destructive tests. However, this methodology only discretely evaluates few areas of the structure, being also time consuming and subject to human error. Therefore, a new method designated %26apos;automatic concrete health monitoring%26apos; is herein presented which aims at automatically characterising and monitoring the state of conservation of concrete surfaces by combining photogrammetry, image processing and multi-spectral analysis. The method was designed to (i) characterise crack pattern, displacement and strain fields; (ii) map damages and (iii) assess and define restoration tasks.
