Abstract: The assessment of structural damage in underground tunnels is a critical aspect of ensuring the safety, stability, and longevity of these essential infrastructure components. Traditional methods of inspection often face limitations in terms of accessibility, accuracy, and efficiency. However, the advent of 3D laser scanning technology has revolutionized the way structural damage is assessed in underground environments. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the application of 3D laser scanning in the assessment of structural damage in underground tunnels. It explores the principles of 3D laser scanning, the methodology for conducting tunnel assessments, and the advantages of this technology over traditional methods. The paper also presents case studies that demonstrate the effectiveness of 3D laser scanning in identifying and quantifying damage, such as cracks, deformations, and material degradation, and discusses future trends and potential advancements in this field.
