Abstract: | This paper describes a technique for the measurement of paste contents of mortars and concretes. The technique involves etching the polished surfaces of samples with a saturated solution of salicylic acid in 80:20 methyl alcohol: water mixture which does not affect limestone aggregates. The contrast difference between the exposed aggregates and the etched areas is then enhanced by painting the aggregates black and filling the etched areas with a white powder. An automatic image analyzer can then measure either the blackened aggregates or the whitened etched areas. |
