Abstract:
In the present paper, the propagation of Rayleigh waves in a strongly heterogeneous medium is discussed. Scattering of stress waves is a difficult scientific problem. Specifically, the interaction of surface waves with distributed inhomogeneity seems highly complicated due to the existence of two displacement components. Rayleigh waves undergo significant attenuation and velocity change depending on the frequency and the inhomogeneity content. The aim of this study is to highlight the dispersive behavior of concrete, especially when damaged, and increase the experimental data in an area where the work is limited.
