dc.description.abstractThe degradation of infrastructures such as bridges, highways, buildings, and dams has been accelerated due to environmental and loading consequences. The most popular method for inspecting existing concrete structures has been visual inspection. Inspectors assess defects visually based on their engineering expertise, competence, and experience. This method, however, is subjective, tiresome, inefficient, and constrained by the requirement for access to multiple components of complex structures. The angle, width, and length of the crack allow us to figure out the cause of the propagation and extent of the damage, and rehabilitation can be suggested based on them. This research proposes an algorithm based on a pre-trained convolutional neural network (CNN) and image processing (IP) to obtain the crack angle, width, endpoint length, and actual path length in a concrete structure. The results show low relative errors of 2.19%, 14.88%, and 1.11%, respectively for the crack angle, width, and endpoint length from the CNN and IP methods developed in this research. The actual path length is found to be 14.69% greater than the crack endpoint length. When calculating the crack length, it is crucial to consider its irregular shape and the likelihood that its actual path length will be greater than the direct distance between the endpoints. This study suggests measurement methods that precisely consider the crack shape to estimate its actual path length.en_US
