IMPROVEMENT AND IMLEMENTATION OF DIGITAL INSPECTION FIELD NOTEBOOK FOR BRIDGES

Abstract

 In this study, to prevent the 'overlooking of damage and deterioration' and 'misjudgment of damage level' in bridge inspections and to ensure highly reliable inspections, a digital inspection field notebook was improved, and its implementation was verified on actual bridges. By using the digital inspection field notebook, it became possible to display examples of damage in similar bridges and areas prone to damage or deterioration on a 3D model of the bridge created on a tablet device. This method showed a tendency to be more effective in preventing the omission of inspections for paint film cracks compared to conventional method. Additionally, the time required for inspection at each location and the time for creating inspection reports were also reduced compared to conventional method, indicating that the use of digital field notebook could be effective in both improving inspection accuracy and ensuring reliability while enhancing work efficiency.
