Abstract:
Image processing methods have been widely used in civil engineering recently. Image
processing is reproducing the processes people got via their own vision system by digitizing.
The aim of this study is to define air void values of different concrete specifies with image
processing methods. With this purpose seven different concrete series have been produced by
using different water/cement rates. Physical and mechanical tests have been applied on the
samples acquired. Additively air void ratios have been calculated after section images obtained
from hardened concrete surfaces are processed. Relations between the results obtained as a
result of image processing method and pressure resistance values of the acquired concrete
samples have been examined.
Consequentially it has been observed that air void values in the concrete obtained by using
image processing techniques may be estimated with a high correlation.
