The deep learning-based method demonstrates superior capability in high-temperature deterioration analysis of rock materials through scanning electron microscopy (SEM) characterization. However, the blurred boundaries between particles and pore structure presented SEM images always affect training efficiency. Hence, this study, metal intrusion technology backscattered (BSE) observations are applied to assist a model analyze exposed different levels high temperatures. >2000 micro for each...
Abstract The dissolution kinetics of tricalcium silicate (Ca 3 SiO 5 , or C S), the primary component ordinary Portland cement, are critical to cement hydration, which governs key properties, such as setting, hardening, long‐term mechanical performance, and durability. Despite its importance, lack kinetic data for single S particle hinders development accurate hydration models a comprehensive understanding mechanisms. In this study, we employed novel lab‐on‐a‐chip technology integrated with...
Comprehending the microstructure of LC3 is paramount importance since it governs majority properties cement. Here, we investigate spatial correlation and pore morphology LC3, revealing microstructural refinement effects through deep learning image-based characterisation. A model was developed to characterise local features 28-day with optimised resolution physical image size, identifying a lower probability connected pores occurring but higher likelihood solid particles in than OPC. 33%...
Limestone calcined clay cement (LC3) holds promise as a new type of sustainable cement-based material, but the mechanisms underpinning its engineering performance are still poorly understood. Here, metal intrusion-enhanced imaging approach was employed to quantitatively analyze and link pore structure development LC3 hydration process, i.e. solid-phase development, mechanical performance. We found that early age microstructural in is inhomogeneous, with perimeter limestone particles...
Dissolution of tricalcium silicate (C3S) is a crucial process in cement hydration. Despite its significance, the kinetics dissolution at particle level—where C3S particles exhibit heterogeneous reactivities both spatially and temporally—remains poorly understood. In our study, we utilized lab-on-a-chip technology integrated with confocal laser scanning microscopy to monitor individual particles. This approach enabled us quantitatively assess heterogeneity among under various conditions...
