Analysis of concrete meso damage based on CT

Abstract

CT is one of the effective means to analyze concrete meso-damage. Based on CT image under uniaxial compression, this paper used Amira—three-dimensional reconstruction software to segment the images, extract pores, count and calculate the pore volume .This paper analyzed the corresponding relation between pressure—pore volume diagram and pressure—displacement diagram under cyclic loading. The results showed that: under uniaxial loading condition, pore volume change can be used to describe the change of the meso pore of the concrete specimen, including compaction, initiation, extension and perforation.
