In order to make accurate predictions of the structural behaviour of non-metallic reinforced concrete elements, one of the key problems in the…
The aim of the Tomography Portal "Gulliver" project is to use computed tomography to deepen the understanding of the load-bearing and deformation behaviour of concrete members under failure. For the first time, it enables investigations on real-scale building components subjected to load increase while performing high-resolution computed tomography scans. Funded by a Major Instrumentation Initiative promoted by the German Research Foundation (DFG), this tomography portal is a central component of the Civil Engineering Equipment Center (BIG) at the RPTU.
