【 摘 要 】

The paper is focused on visualization and analysis of concrete specimen damage after fire and blast experiments. A data visualization tool, based on an in-house MATLAB code, is described and its applicability and versatility are illustrated. In the first illustrative example, concrete spalling of fire exposed floor slab panels made of various types of concrete (without fibres, with polypropylene fibres, with steel fibres) is analysed. In the second example, the results of ultrasonic pulse velocity measurements of concrete bridge decks before and after blast experiments are shown in order to investigate the blast resistance of the decks made of different types of materials and to illustrate the damage of the decks in the form of the material degradation, surface spalling and puncture. The developed data visualization tool has been included in a freely available scientific computer program with a graphical user interface.
