Abstract: The internal cracking patterns of a series of small mortar specimens were observed using a technique called X-ray microtomography. The experiments were arranged such that three-dimensional images of internal cracks could ...

Abstract: A high-resolution 3D scanning technique called X-ray microtomography was applied to measure internal damage and crack growth in small mortar cylinders loaded in compression. Synchrotron-based microtomography allows us to ...
