RDP Software - BridgePro

The RDP BridgePro software was developed to analyze GPR bridge deck data. This software can operate independently and detect bridge deck delamination automatically or with user assistance. BridgePro analyzes IRIS GPR bridge deck data and identifies special signal features that are related to concrete distress. The software employs a proprietary set of delamination descriminants to detect concrete deterioration based on SHRP C-101 research conducted by Penetradar Corporation as described in AASHTO TP-36 and ASTM D6087-97 standards. Delamination results are presented as plan view maps of the bridge deck depicting GPR scans versus inspection distance, with locations of delaminations shown in a colorized, topographical format. An array of flexible features are provided that allow a user to format the map, adjust colors, threshold levels, map size and other features necessary for display, output presentation and report generation. Delamination and deterioration maps can also be stored in a Windows bitmap (.bmp) file format that can then be exported to other graphics software for additional editing and display. Asphalt overlay thickness and reinforcing steel depth measurements can be exported as an ASCII data file, printed as a formatted table or displayed in a colorized topographical format. Other outputs that are generated by the BridgePro application include a 3D chart showing the percentage and area of delamination of the inspected bridge deck and a summary file for the inspection survey.
