Abstract:
Manual visual inspection is by far the most widely used weld inspection method. A given weld may be visually examined multiple times as parts are joined and made into assemblies. Because visual inspection is somewhat subjective, and prone to error (a typical inspector only identifies about 85% of the visible defects); welds that pass one inspection may fail subsequent inspections, resulting in multiple inspection and repair cycles. This paper discusses a project that tested the benefits and limitations of a semiautomated weld inspection system. The goal of this semiautomated inspection approac

Abstract:
Reliable data on the condition of bridge networks are critical for successful bridge management. However, little attention has been paid to the quality of the data gathered in bridge inspections. This paper reviews the most important areas of bridge inspection that cause variation in bridge condition data and presents possible misjudgments made as a result of poor inspection data quality. The main elements of the inspection quality management system adopted in the Finnish Road Administration are presented, and the development of the quality of inspection data in 2002 and 2003 is briefly summar

Abstract:
Agencies with safety oversight responsibilities of railroad tracks often perform walking audit inspections of tracks (also referred to as quality audits) to complement and oversee the regular inspections performed by the railway operator or maintenance manager. Traditionally, these audit inspections are scheduled based on the qualitative evaluation of the rail line by the inspectors, together with the available schedule of the inspector(s). This paper presents an approach to replace the current qualitative decision-making process for determining when and where to conduct audit inspections with

Abstract:
Inspections on board tankers contribute to the prevention of accidents, which can have a significant impact to humans and environment. Therefore a high amount of tanker inspections is performed by various stakeholders. This practice could be made more efficient by introducing unified inspection regime, which covers existing areas of inspection, eliminates overlapping and has the potential to improve safety. In this paper an important aspect in defining inspection regime, inspection interval, is determined considering contradictory goals: lowering the costs of inspection and increasing useful s

Abstract:
For more than 20 years, the FHWA has required that underwater inspection of bridges be performed at least every 5 years. Over that period, departments of transportation and other bridge owners have either developed in-house underwater inspection teams or hired outside consultants to perform this work. Ensuring that the inspections are conducted properly and accurately is critical. To this end, several policies and procedures can be implemented as quality control measures in an underwater inspection program.

Can virtual reality tools be used to train engineers that inspect work zones? In this paper, we share the findings of a research project that developed an interactive and immersive training platform using virtual reality to train state department of transportation (DOT) staff that inspect work zones for compliance. Virtual reality offers an immersive platform that closely replicates the actual experience of an inspector driving through a work zone, but in a safer, cheaper, and quicker way than field visits. The current training practice involves reviewing temporary traffic control procedures,

Conventional methods for visual assessment of civil infrastructures have certain limitations, such as subjectivity of the collected data, long inspection time, and high cost of labor. Although some new technologies (i.e., robotic techniques) that are currently in practice can collect objective, quantified data, the inspector’s own expertise is still critical in many instances because these technologies are not designed to work interactively with a human inspector.

Abstract:
Major improvements in weld inspection are obtained using Phased Array technology with capability for beam steering, electronic scanning, focusing, and sweeping the ultrasonic beams. Electronic scanning is much faster than raster scanning, and can optimize angles and focusing to maximize defect detection. Pressure vessel (PV) inspections typically use “top, side, end” or “top, side, TOFD” views, though other imaging is possible. Special inspections can be performed, e.g., for specific defects, or increased coverage. Defects can be sized by pulse-echo as per code, by time-of-flight Diffraction o

A common approach to negotiate the inspection of nonrigid parts is to construct an inspection fixture that mimics the design condition (identical mounting points

Abstract Most aircraft exterior inspections require human workers to visually detect defects such as dents, cracks, leaking, broken or missing parts, etc., and manually measure the parameters of the identified defects, which is a time-consuming process and it is also error-prone if the human inspector is not fully focused. This situation can be alleviated by the advance in computer vision and robotics for saving time and relieving human workers from such repetitive and stressful tasks.

Abstract:
The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) completed a total of 25 high friction surface treatment (HFST) projects across the state in 2018. This research study attempted to investigate the durability and performance of HFST in terms of its HFST-pavement system integrity and surface friction performance. Laboratory tests were conducted to determine the physical and mechanical properties of epoxy-bauxite mortar. Field inspections were carried out to identify site conditions and common early HFST distresses. Cyclic loading test and finite element method (FEM) analysis were performed to eva
