To meet this demand, we develop the on-site inspection system using 950 keV/3.95 MeV X-band (9.3 GHz) linac X-ray sources*. These systems can visualize in seconds the inner states of bridge, including cracks of concrete, location and state of tendons (wires) and other imperfections. We focused on the inspection for wires which are critical to the safety of bridge. At the on-site inspections, the X-ray inspection system exhibited sufficient accuracy to detect the wire's corrosion. We also evaluated the maximum thickness of concrete to which our system can be applied. Using the 950 keV system, we conducted on-site inspection for real bridges and performed structural analysis to evaluate the bearing capacity of the bridge using finite element method. We plan to apply the 3.95 MeV linac for actual bridge inspection to extend the applicable range in 2017. For accurate visualization, the parallel motion CT technique for bridge inspection is in progress.
