Most inspections merely evaluate the locations and shapes of defects on surfaces. To address this shortcoming, it proposes an inspection method and preventive work using a coating-type resin sensor combined with an infrared camera. No method has been developed to assess the depth of defects. In this approach, infrared-reactive resin is applied. Thermographic images of the target area are captured sequentially. Temperature curves obtained at each pixel during the cooling process are analyzed using Fourier transform to differentiate defect states in various parts of the temperature distribution. The temperature change is found to be correlated with the defect size. Approximately 5% aluminum powder is mixed into the applied gel resin. Because of its specific gravity, it tends to concentrate in areas damaged by compression failure or to float. This report discusses technologies related to identification of defects and measuring their size in infrared-reactive resin, with examination of the effectiveness of measures to prevent scattering and collapse of defects caused by structural degradation. A concentric loading test on reinforced concrete columns confined by gel resin ties is described herein. Test variables include concrete compressive strength of 232–244 N/mm<sup>2</sup>, both below and above the equipment hole that caused the defect, and to measure the relation, a comparison with test specimens that are free of defects.\u0000","PeriodicalId":417484,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Remote Sensing","volume":"129 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141388671","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Flood is a excess of water that submerges surroundings that is normally dry. It is the sever problem in Ganga Sub Basin - Ghaghra Confluence to Gomti Confluence of Uttar Pradesh. Near real time mapping of inundated areas is very important for figuring out the flood extent, deployment of emergency reaction teams, and evaluation of damages and casualties. In this thesis work, a real time flood mapping and monitoring online WEB based application using Sentinel-1 time-series data has been developed on Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform. The SAR Data has Capability to see through the cloud and during the flood the major problem with optical data is, it can not see through the cloud. In this thesis work the SAR data has been used to identify the inundated pixels before and during flood to identify the extent and calamities due to flood. Flood is a hazardous natural phenomenon which severely affect lives, goods and services. Monitoring of flood affected area becomes compulsory for emergency responses but due to damage of network and risk for lives in going such areas it becomes a very typical task. Google Earth Engine (GEE) is an open-source cloud based online platform which reduces this problem. In this thesis work the GEE platform has been used for Near-Real time flood mapping in the study area.

These modifications are land use/land cover changes. This research describes and analyses the implication of land use dynamics on resources in the Sabga-Bamunka area over time and space from 1980 to 2020. Remote sensing techniques and Geographic Information System were used in describing and analysing land use/cover changes in the Sabga-Bamunka area. Primary data was obtained through field observation in order to confirm observation on satellite imageries. Land use maps were produced using GIS software. Maps were generated to show changes in land use/land cover which were transposed into table and bar graphs to show the magnitude of changes. The analysis of static land use maps of 1980, 2010 and 2020 all showed that there are significant changes observed on forest cover, farmland, grazing land and settlement area. The findings revealed that the study area has experienced a drastic change in land use/land cover during the last forty years. The study area is characterised with decrease in grassland areas, forest and increase in settlement and farmland due to the increasing population which are the main triggering force of land use/land cover changes that has led to the reduction in vegetal cover. Forest decreased from 6 568 hectares (26%) in 1980 to 2 842 hectares (10%) in 2020 indicating a magnitude change of -3726 (-29%) and grass land decreased from 16 434 hectares (64%) in 1980 to 14 585 hectares (53%) in 2020 that is a magnitude change of -1849 (-14%). These decreases gave way to settlements and farmland. Therefore, a reduction in the excessive consumption of fuel wood, the practice of eco-forestry, raising of awareness and a dialogue plate-form are amongst the measures recommended to reduce land use/land cover change in the study area.","PeriodicalId":417484,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Remote Sensing","volume":"194 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134274651","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To achieve this goal, we have adopted a methodological approach that focuses essentially on three components: (i) the investigation of 1/4 of Ngor's concessions through observation, interviews, questionnaires and documentation for collect socio-economic data; (ii) GPS surveys and mapping of the study area using GIS techniques and tools based on satellite images; (iii) analysis of collected information based on descriptive statistics. The results obtained reveal a bad garbage collection, which is at the origin of the insalubrities, the development of flies, mosquitoes and rodents having repercussions on the frame of life of the populations. It is also at the origin of the narrow streets, thus making access to neighborhoods difficult; this leads people to dispose of garbage in the open air or on the beach and in the evacuation channels, to the detriment of environmental concerns. This study has clearly highlighted deficiencies of human nature in the system of collection of household garbage in the municipality of Ngor. These results should provide the municipal authorities with a basis for thinking about the reformulation of their system of governance of such garbage and their political will to definitively solve the problem.","PeriodicalId":417484,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Remote Sensing","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130043416","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
