Integration of ground penetrating radar and infrared thermography for bridge deck condition evaluation
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) and Infrared Thermography (IR) have been applied separately by several agencies as tools for bridge deck condition assessment, but there is limited reported work describing the combined use of the results of these two methods. The work described in this paper demonstrates how these two technologies can be economically combined using a multi-level survey approach. The work was carried out on 87 bridge decks in Wisconsin, and included IR and GPR data collection, under-deck visual surveys, and selective core sampling. A Level 1 analysis was initially conducted to screen out decks in good condition, and to focus more detailed (Level 2) analysis on decks that would most likely be programmed for future maintenance and rehabilitation. The strengths and limitations of each method were considered in carrying out the data analysis. The paper describes the methodology, the equipment used, the field data collection, the analysis methods, and the integration of results obtained from the two types of surveys.
