Segura Roman Bridge (object state)

A condition of an object at a particular time, reflecting the object's ability to fulfil it's requirements.

Properties

Element type

:

Object state

Summary

:

Terrestrial laser scanning represents a fundamental tool in the inspection of bridges based on geometric analysis, if this is also combined with a correct algorithm, it allows to obtain hidden structure information. Thus, the algorithm correct used for the geometric analysis in vaults, together with the graphical representation of overlapping semi-cross sections allows visual inspection and quantification of asymmetries and distortions, facilitating diagnosis based on the arch geometry, what's allowed the detection of pathologies. Furthermore, if it's work with (X, Y, Z) coordinates, it allows locating and measure the damage to the structure.
