This book provides an overview and up-to-date synthesis of the most
commonly used non-destructive technologies for the reverse
engineering of built infrastructure facilities. These technologies
tackle both the geometric and radiometric characterization of built
structures, and thus, validated technologies such as laser
scanning, photogrammetry, and multispectral remote sensing are
presented in depth, from their fundamentals to their application to
management systems for diverse applications in civil engineering
(damage inspection, structural calculations, road inventory and
inspections, BIM, etc.). Alternative methods are therefore
presented for routine sub-surface inspections by using non-invasive
geophysics (e.g. magnetic, electrical and electromagnetic), as well
as thermography for the nearest sub-surface. The book is divided
into three sections, whose main features are as follows: Section 1:
Fundamentals, principles and applications of: laser scanning,
photogrammetry, geophysics, ground penetrating radar, IR
thermography, multispectral imaging. Section 2: Applications to the
inspection of infrastructure facilities: tunnels, breakwaters,
railways, roads, and modeling of existing buildings (damage
inspection in constructions, thermographic 3D modeling, structural
modeling of industrial constructions). Section 3: new management
tools and intelligent modeling: infrastructure management systems
based on non-destructive technologies for masonry arch bridges,
computational approaches for GPR processing and interpretation,
automatic processing and object recognition from laser scanning
data, BIM for existing buildings. This cutting-edge edited volume
will be a valuable resource for students, researchers and
professional engineers with an interest in non-destructive
technologies and their applications to reverse engineering of
structures and infrastructure.
