The paper aims to demonstrate the synergy between X-ray computed tomography (CT) data for a concrete specimen and numerical simulations of elastic wave propagation in a purely numerical concrete model (NCM). Uncracked and cracked concrete specimens are scanned using X-ray tomography, and in a subsequent step, are post-processed to analyze the influence of concrete constituents on wave propagation behavior. Numerical modeling of uncracked concrete as a heterogeneous randomly-distributed medium is introduced. Homogenized material properties, the so-called effective elastic properties, are determined for the segmented X-ray CT images and the NCM. The results of both approaches are compared and discussed. Numerical simulations of wave propagation in the segmented X-ray CT model and the numerical concrete model are performed and compared. The influence of concrete constituents such as aggregate grains and air voids on wave propagation behavior is studied. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
