These bridges are now aging due\u00a0to wear, corrosion, and fatigue. In 2018, \u2018Ponte Morandi\u2019 failed\u00a0in Genoa\u00a0claiming numerous lives. Unfortunately, this catastrophic failure\u00a0is not the only incident of this kind.<\/p><p>Currently, periodic visual inspections conducted by specialists serve as state-of-the-art bridge control to find abnormalities. However, it becomes cumbersome in the case of large surfaces and inaccessible areas, where scaffolding or other equipment is required. Moreover, coatings can hide cracks, and not all forms of damage are visible from the outside, especially at the early stages.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-dev4-reusable-blocks-image  object-fit--contain\">\n    \n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-block-image unilux-custom-image-block\"\n                alt=\"\"\n            src=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/07\/pont_adolfe.jpg\"\n                srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/07\/pont_adolfe-300x121.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/07\/pont_adolfe.jpg 500w\"\n                style=\"object-position: 50.00% 50.00%; font-family: &quot;object-fit: contain; object-position: 50.00% 50.00%;&quot;; aspect-ratio: 21\/9; object-fit: contain; width: 100%;\"\n        loading=\"lazy\"\n\/>    <\/figure><i>Pont Adolphe in Luxembourg<\/i><p>Simultaneously,\u00a0uncertainty and a lack of knowledge regarding hidden damage often result in premature and unnecessary repairs or even complete demolition, as responsible authorities prioritize caution.
