| Summary | River levees are long structures which have, throughout the long history of flood control, been constructed accompanied by repeated reinforcement and repair according to the state of past disasters. So in order to ensure the safety of river levees far into the future, it is important to perform inspections closely coordinated with reinforcement to efficiently and reliably detect locations which impact safety and to monitor their condition. An inspection of a river levee is performed over all the extension on the river levee of management of a country every year on the basis of visual inspection. It is necessary for inspections to be done by limited personnel and restricted budgets, so more efficient methods are needed. |
