Vision-Based Measurements for Monitoring a Rehabilitated Corrugated Metal Pipe Culvert
Publication: Structures Congress 2023
ABSTRACT
Technological advancements have facilitated the application of digital image correlation (DIC) in condition assessment, structural evaluation, and even structural health monitoring (SHM). Specifically, the advantages of using vision-based measurement approaches include but are not limited to high accuracy for non-contact, non-destructive measurements over long distances (e.g., 50 m). The accuracy and robust measurements obtained when taking video-based measurements are leading engineers to use them for faster deployment than mounted sensor arrays. In this study, the structural performance of a corroded corrugated metal pipe (CMP) culvert rehabilitated with a spray applied pipe liner (SAPL) is monitored by using a commercial DIC system and video-based post-processing capabilities to characterize in situ behavior. The culvert is subjected to different static and dynamic loads resulting in deformations captured by video-based measurements before and after the CMP has been lined with a spray applied pipe liner (SAPL) to evaluate its effect during load testing. Despite poor lighting conditions and circumstantial limitations such as the forbiddance of mounting hanging targets, the DIC system captured the deformations of the culvert when subjected to a set of controlled load tests. The lining improved the structural performance of the culvert by increasing its ring stiffness, and the semi-beam behavior of the culvert under the loads. The recorded data also validated the structural behavior observed in the finite element (FE) model of the culvert before and after it was lined.
