Pore structure of cement-based materials : testing interpretation & requirements

Author: Kalliopi K Aligizaki Publisher: Taylor & Francis | Year: 2005 | pages: 432 | ISBN: 9780419228004

Summary:
This book provides a clear introduction to the various experimental techniques used for characterizing the pore structure of hardened cement-based materials. It begins with a comprehensive outline of the traditional and the recently-developed techniques for determining the pore structure of hardened cement paste, and continues with a discussion of the methods used for air-void analysis in air-entrained concrete. Directed to the student and engineer, this volume serves as a useful introduction to the topic of microstructure characterization, and provides a comprehensive set of references for further information.
