Machine Vision-Based Monitoring Methodology for the Fatigue Cracks in U-Rib-to-Deck Weld Seams

The orthotropic steel-box girder (OSG) is widely used in the construction of a large-scale bridges. Since cumulative damages caused by the heavy vehicles and initial flaws of welding, the bridges with OSGs frequently suffer from fatigue cracks, which are commonly distributed around U-ribs. Hence, th...
