In-situ study of the water uptake in air-entrained cement mortar during freezing and thawing
We will use dual-modality neutron and x-ray tomography to study the uptake of water in air-entrained concrete. We will perform measurements in-situ during freeze-thaw cycling to better understand the interaction between the water and the air pores in the material and eventually visualize the freezing-induced cracks. We will also investigate the potential of better differentiating super-cool water from ice by filtering out the higher end of the neutron spectrum to benefit from the increased contrast between liquid water and ice at lower neutron energies.
