#61 Porosity & Pore Structure | Woking of Mercury Intrusion Porosimeter | Part 2

Welcome to 'Characterization of Construction Materials' course ! This lecture discusses the applications of MIP in analyzing pore structure, focusing on its use in cementitious materials research. Learn about: Analyzing pore size distribution and porosity of cement paste, concrete, and other cementitious materials using MIP. The relationship between pore structure and material properties, such as strength, durability, and transport properties. Interpreting MIP data: Cumulative intrusion curve: showing the total volume of mercury intruded as a function of pressure. Differential intrusion curve: highlighting the pore size distribution, with peaks indicating dominant pore sizes. Critical pore size or most-likely pore diameter: the pore size at which the maximum intrusion occurs.
