Abstract

To assess the pore size of virtual cementitious materials, the star volume method (SVM) can be considered an effective tool. Unfortunately, the SVM requires a large number of plane sections in each of the very large number of random points, resulting in a time-consuming and expensive operation. As a more economical alternative, this paper presents a stereology-based contracted method, which uses a well-known theoretical concept proposed by Cauchy. This method completed pore size measurements in a shorter period of time (reductions as high as 85%) while demonstrating reliability to be maintained at the same level.
