Abstract
MicroCT is widely used for different materials inspection in a non-destructive manner. The technique allows visualization of internal structure and quantify objects morphologically. In this work we perform microCT analysis of steel fiber of concrete reinforcement also called reinforced cement concrete or RCC that is a composite material made up of concrete and some form of reinforcement. This combination is made to utilize the compressive strength of concrete and tensile strength of steel simultaneously. Steel rebar is most commonly used as a tensioning devise to reinforce concrete to help with tensile states. In this context, the evaluation of the orientation of the steel fibers is very important. In this work, the microCT was applied as a useful tool for inspect and classified the concrete reinforcement of the steel fibers.
