“…In the concrete field, X-ray CT has been applied to a variety of research areas, including pore structure characterization, freeze-thaw and fire damage, and diffusivity in cracks (Darma, Sugiyama, & Promentilla, 2013;Henry, Darma, & Sugiyama, 2014;Sugiyama, Promentilla, Hitomi, & Takeda, 2010). This technology is uniquely suited to analyzing crack characteristics in particular, as air voids inside concrete-both connected (cracks) and isolated-have little to no X-ray absorption properties, and thus, contrast highly with the cement paste and aggregates.…”
