AI Tools for Rapid Post-Earthquake Damage Assessment for Bridges
The main goal of this study is to develop tools (artificial intelligence (AI) and analytical) that perform post-earthquake PDA and DDA on both standard and substandard columns that are in-service in Alaska. To achieve this goal, the following will be carried out (1) review of the BrM database and other resources such as drawings and inspection reports to extract the common column detailing specific to Alaska and to categorize them into standard and substandard columns, (2) a comprehensive literature review on the performance of such columns, (3) development of a comprehensive experimental database for substandard columns, (4) performing large-scale testing to establish damage pattern for substandard columns common in Alaska, and (5) development of AI and other analytical tools that can perform PDA and DDA on Alaska’s standard and substandard columns. Cloud-based tools or mobile applications equip with PDA and DDA tools can significantly expediate post-earthquake assessment of bridges by deploying local DOT personnel that are not necessarily bridge engineers/inspectors. These tools provide quick and safe evaluation to decide to open, partially open to first responders, or close the bridge.
