  • Methods and systems for assessing damage to a structure and determining repair information
    Patent number: 10269187
    Abstract: An example computer-implemented method of assessing damage to a structure includes receiving information of damage to the structure, and identifying a damage type for the damage. Following, the damage type and the information is compared with a first reference having allowable damage limits of the structure for that damage type, a second reference having damage repair information and associated damage repair processes, and a database having historical repair information for the damage type. Based on the damage type and the information indicating that the damage is outside the allowable damage limits described in the first reference and also does not have any associated damage repair process described in the second reference and the database does not include historical repair information for the damage type, expanded repair information is provided for a repair solution based on a material type and loading of the structure.
