[0002] Bridges are now important transportation facilities for vehicles to pass through rivers and mountains. After long-term driving and the influence of natural factors, cracks may appear on the bridge deck, bridge columns, and abutments. In order to ensure the normal use of bridges, bridges need to be inspected regularly.
