| description | Quantitative characterisation of morphology and shape parameters of pozzolanic materials, as a fundamental problem of characterisation of pozzolanic materials, has received significant consideration in literature. Thus far, previous research works have not paid much attention to the circularity, roundness and solidity of pozzolanic materials including waste brick powder (WBP). This research makes a significant contribution on identification of circularity, roundness and solidity of WBP particles under milling conditions using quantitative image analysis. In particular, the goal was to interrogate the ball milling treatment variables for generating WBP using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and image analysis. Under the milling conditions of changing sample masses introduced in ball mill, the average circularity values for the specimens were approximately 0.6 whilst the average solidity values for the specimens were approximately 0.71. Moreover, the average roundness values for the specimens were nearly 0.51. It was shown that the trends of shape parameters of WBP under changing fineness levels were not significant. The values of circularity, solidity and roundness in this study therefore collaborate to support the discoveries of hidden shape characteristics of WBP specimens and can tackle the overall behaviour of cement-based composites containing WBP. Quantitative image analysis was therefore observed to be capable of inheriting detailed information from SEM micrographs and remains one of the most outstanding approaches of generating shape parameters. |
