Geotechnical hazards along linear transportation corridors are challenging to identify and often require constant monitoring.Inspecting corridors using traditional, manual methods requires the engineer to be unnecessarily exposed to the hazard.It also requires closure of the corridor to ensure safety of the worker from passing vehicles.This paper i
Runway surface friction is critically important to safe aircraft operations and mostly depends on the surface texture, which provides grip in the presence of contamination and directly affects the friction coefficient in general.Microtexture assessment is the most challenging part of texture assessment since there flexcon reverse osmosis water stor
Shield tunnels are increasingly monitored using 3D laser scanning technology to generate high-resolution point cloud data, which serve as a critical foundation for precise deformation analysis.This study introduces an advanced methodology for analyzing tunnel cross-section displacements, leveraging point cloud data captured by the Self-Mobile Intel
Abstract A long-reach robotic arm is useful for applications such as nuclear plant decommissioning, inspection, and firefighting.However, for such arms, a small external reaction force can result in large loads on proximal arm actuators because of long moment arms.This problem was previously solved by specialized arm designs that compensate externa
