CIV1250H: Instrumentation Techniques in Concrete Technology

The study of Concrete Technology makes use of many test methods not normally associated with Civil Engineering. Methods include those for pore structure and surface area by BET; mercury porosimetry; permeability to vapour, gas, and liquids; mineralogy by optical microscopy x-ray diffraction and thermal analysis; microstructure by optical and electron microscope; and chemical analysis by XRF, AA, IR, IC, or neutron activation. Published literature will be discussed with respect to differences in such procedures, and interpretation of data.
