Abstract

This study aims to develop a novel AI-driven approach for detecting and evaluating corrosion in reinforced concrete (RC) structures, answering one of the most significant challenges in the construction industry. The research aims to overcome the difficulties of identifying corrosion with limited data. Gathering representative learning databases is challenging due to problems obtaining adequate samples and the high diversity in rebar, concrete, and structural parameters. The research quantitatively analyzes measurements obtained through Magnetic Force Induced Vibration Evaluation (M5), a nondestructive testing (NDT) method. The process is enhanced by employing the specialized Association Rules Analysis (ARA) with a dedicated feature extraction technique. The findings suggest that utilizing a variety of patterns and features enhances the method's identification effectiveness.
