“…Scour needs to be monitored in a timely manner as around 80% of the railroad and highway bridges in the US are built over water bodies [1,2]. Natural disasters like earthquakes associated with heavy rain and flooding can severely damage bridges [3]. Regular monitoring of bridges is needed to maintain the structural integrity of the railroad and highway bridges [4,5].…”

Scour around bridges present a severe threat to the stability of railroad and highway bridges. Scour needs to be monitored to prevent the bridges from becoming damaged. This research studies the feasibility of using green laser for monitoring the scour around candidate railroad and highway bridges. The laboratory experiments that provided the basis for using green laser for underwater mapping are also discussed. The results of the laboratory and field experiments demonstrate the feasibility of using green laser for underwater infrastructure monitoring with limitations on the turbidity of water that affects the penetrability of the laser. This method can be used for scour monitoring around offshore structures in shallow water as well as corrosion monitoring of bridges.

“…Several non-destructive testing and retrofitting techniques have also emerged recently, but they are not useful for evaluation and retrofitting on timber piles ( 7 ). Some constructions use minimal wood, but it is critical to their functionality, for example when connecting earthen walls to tie beams ( 8 , 9 ). For that reason, techniques for long-term wood preservation should be deeply researched.…”

Timber piles have been used for a long time in bridges and marine structures. Many of these structures have exceeded their service life and require maintenance or repair because of deterioration. To address this issue, repair/retrofit techniques utilizing ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) can provide many advantages, such as minimizing repair material amounts and high durability because of its superior mechanical characteristics. This paper presents preliminary tests to comprehend the behavior of composite specimens made of timber and UHPC, including the load transfer mechanism and load-carrying capacity. For load transfer between the timber pile and UHPC, push-off and slant shear tests were conducted on composite timber and UHPC specimens with different surface preparations for timber surfaces. It was concluded that because of the smoothness of the UHPC surface, mechanical connectors (nails) provided the highest interface shear strength between timber and UHPC. For the load-carrying capacity, several specimens were tested under compression loading and it was concluded that timber treatment before casting UHPC plays a vital role in restoring the load-carrying capacity of timber piles.
