‘Like using sonogram on bridges and pavement’
Department of Civil Engineering, will develop an internal damage identification model that leverages deep-learning technologies.“This ACE system will be like using a sonogram on bridges and pavement,” Ham said. “We’ll use the system to find internal cracks—ones that aren’t always visible to the naked eye—without a closed lane on a highway. We’ll use a wave-scattering theory approach to determine the severity of those internal cracks.” See https://www.miragenews.com/like-using-sonogram-on-bridges-and-pavement-819588/
