Consideration of artificial intelligence algorithms to support determination of countermeasure classification for small culverts

Abstract

When inspecting bridges, a countermeasure classification is determined for each part of the bridge or damage. Countermeasure classification is used as basic data when considering repair plans. Therefore, it is important to determine the countermeasure classification based on uniform evaluation criterion. However, countermeasure classification is a qualitative criterion. In addition, the results of countermeasure classification vary among bridge inspectors. Therefore, in this paper, we considered an artificial intelligence algorithm for determining countermeasure classification. The purpose is to support local governments in determining countermeasure classification. We targeted cracks and corrosion of reinforcing bars that occur in small culverts.
