Micro Abstract:
This work explores the possibility to add contrast enhancers powders into the concrete mixes to allow an easier segmentation and mesh generation. This allows to adopt high fidelity geometries of the concrete mesostructure into numerical simulations. Characterization tests are performed in order to ensure that the concrete mix is not appreciably affected by the presence of the enhancers. The results of both normal and modified concretes are compared to demonstrate the validity of the method.
