We present the results of a machine learning (ML)- inspired data fusion approach, applied to multi-sensory nondestructive testing (NDT) data. Our dataset consists of Impact-Echo (IE), Ultrasonic Pulse Echo (US) and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) measurements collected on large-scale concrete specimens with built–in simulated honeycombing defects. In a previous study we were able to improve the detectability of honeycombs by fusing the information from the three different sensors with the density based clustering algorithm DBSCAN. We demonstrated the advantage of data fusion in reducing the false positives up to 10% compared to the best single sensor, thus, improving the detectability of the defects. The main objective of this contribution is to investigate the generality, i.e. whether the conclusions from one specimen can be adapted to the other. The effectiveness of the proposed approach on a separate full-scale concrete specimen was evaluated.

Concrete is a complex material. Its properties evolve over time, especially at early age, and are dependent on environmental conditions, i.e. temperature and moisture conditions, as well as the composition of the material.
This leads to a variety of macroscopic phenomena such as hydration/solidification/hardening, creep and shrinkage, thermal strains, damage and inelastic deformations. Most of these phenomena are characterized by specific set of model assumptions and often an additive decomposition of strains into elastic, plastic, shrinkage and creep components is performed. Each of these phenomena are investigated separately and a number of respective independent models have been designed. The interactions are then accounted for by adding appropriate correction factors or additional models for the particular interaction. This paper discusses the importance of reconsider even in the experimental phase the model assumptions required to generalize the experimental data into models used in design codes. It is especially underlined that the complex macroscopic behaviour of concrete is strongly influenced by its multiscale and multiphyscis nature and two examples (shrinkage and fatigue) of interacting phenomena are discussed.
