X-ray CT for Geomaterials by Y. Obara & J. Otani
Soils,Concrete,Rocks
Long-used as a tool for noninvasive medical diagnostics, X-ray computed tomography has attracted greater interest among engineers recently as a method of non-destructive evaluation of geomaterials. Covering advances in tomographic technology (hardware and software), recent applications, current reseX-ray Computed Tomography (CT) scanning has been widely used for years as a medical diagnosis technique. To date, this technique is attracting increasing interest for its applicability as a tool in nondestructive testing in engineering. Particularly the testing of geomaterials, materials comprising any kind of matter composed of geological substance, such as soils, rocks, concrete and pavement, proved to be very fruitful. The current book forms one of the first reports about application of X-ray CT in the nondestructive testing of the mechanical properties of geomaterials such as deformation and failure. This work comprises one special lecture, three keynote lactures and 35 technical papers that were presented at the International Workshop on X-ray CT for Geomaterials (GeoX2003) in Kumamoto, Japan that was held from 6 to 7 November 2003. The four major themes are: Recent advances of X-ray CT technology in hardware and software; State-of-the-art of the application of X-ray CT scnning in the testing of geomaterials; Current world-wide research activities; Future prospects of X-ray CT applications. This book is intended for researchers and professionals working in the field of geotechnical engineering, soil, rock and concrete engineering and geology. |
