Abstract

The cavity diameter is an important parameter to denote the characteristic of porous concrete. So far, the information about the measurement of cavity diameter of porous concrete is quite insufficient. Especially, the direct measuring method was seldom reported. In the study, a new method to measure the cavity diameter by applying Integrate Charge-Coupled Detector (CCD) imaging technology was developed. The method was simple, time and money spending less and effective. In terms of the method, the mean cavity diameters of porous concretes made by coarse aggregates of 5-10mm, 10-16mm, 16-20mm, 20-25mm and 25-32mm were 3.20mm, 4.33 mm, 6.70 mm, 7.75 mm and 9.65mm, respectively. Both void ratio and permeability coefficient of pore concrete were affected by cavity diameter.
