The distribution and morphology of CH particles in various cementitious systems was investigated to determine which parameters influence their nucleation and growth. Morphological image analysis of SEM-BSE images of polished cross-sections was used to meas ...
Cement pastes aged from 1 to 60 days were studied using synchrotron microtomography on the MS-X04SA beam line at the Swiss Light Source. This allowed three dimensional images to be obtained with a resolution approaching that of backscattered electron image ...
Scanning Electron Microscopy Image Analysis (SEM-IA) was used to quantify the degree of alkali silica reaction in affected microbars, mortar and concrete prisms. It was found that the degree of reaction gave a unique correlation with the macroscopic expans ...
