Abstract
This article focuses on the application of geophysical methods on varying scale, going from meters to centimeters or millimeters, and an anthropogenic material, namely concrete. There are good reasons for this as concrete is by far the most produced material by mankind, and its production is responsible for about 8 % of the global carbon footprint (Nature, 2021). Inspection and monitoring of concrete constructions, namely the ageing infrastructure, contributes to the safety of our daily life but also keeps structures in service, avoiding the necessity of reconstruction.
