Characterization of Aggregates and Asphalt Concrete Using X-Ray Computerized Tomography A State of the Art Report

摘要

X-ray computerized tomography is a viable non-destructive methodfor material characterization. Its capability of obtaining threedimensional(3D) material structure enables the characterization ofaggregates and asphalt mixture on a new horizon promising applicationsin characterization, modeling and computational simulation to optimizemix design, predict performance and conduct forensic studies. This paperreviews the fundamentals of X-ray Computerized Tomography (XCT),its capability, and recent development in applying this tool tocharacterize aggregates and asphalt mixtures.
