Abstract: ABSTRACT Disclosed herein is an integrated post-disaster structural assessment and decision-support system (100), comprising an image capturing unit and a processing assembly (104) further comprising an image acquisition module (106) configured to receive and pre-process the digital image of the concrete structure from the image capturing unit (102). The processing assembly (104) further comprising an image segmentation module (108) to generate a binary crack region, and a crack geometry extraction module (110) to generate a crack centerline from the binary crack region. The processing assembly (104) further comprising a calibration module (112) and a crack characterization module (114). The processing assembly (104) further comprising a classification module (116) to determine and classify a crack type from crack using the crack orientation, and a physics-based prediction module (118) to determine a predicted residual compressive strength. The processing assembly (104) further comprising an explainable inference module (120), and a structural triage module (122).
