Why do you need to inspect cracks?
The answer is that cracks are important indicators of concrete structure endurance
like earth-quake resistance.
The more cracks the structure has, the more it loses the endurance.
For example, geological change and some force lean the structure.
Then, cracks arise over the structure.
The inclined structure is not durable.
Furthermore, deep cracks cause corrosion to reinforcing rods of the structure.
And, when the structure has many cracks and begin to tumble,
its fragments can drop over the street.
It's dangerous.
That's why the cracks need to be examined,
However, in spite of its importance, there was not an efficient method for crack inspection.
So far, without the KUMONOS, you have to measure cracks with a ruler called Crack Scale
and sketch them on paper with a pencil one by one.
That demands much labor, time and also high cost.
Moreover, conducting an inspection by this old method exposes you to danger.
Also, even though you work so hard, it's impossible to acquire accurate data.
KUMONOS solves all these problems!!
What's the meaning of "KUMONOS"?
"KUMONOS" is spider's web in Japanese.
Cracks look like spider's web, don't they?
