Surface Layer Study of Concrete Containing Metakaolin
Metakaolin is known as one of the latent hydraulic admixtures that improves properties of High Performance Concrete. Many research works demonstrate that the application of metakaolin improves properties of concrete as freeze-thaw resistance and resistance against de-icing salts with freeze-thaw cycles combination. A very important role in concrete performance in such severe environments is played by a porous system and the surface of hardened concrete. The new method of confocal 3D laser microscopy is applicable nowadays. This paper deals with the study of this method applied on samples of concrete containing metakaolin and on reference concrete. Changes of the surface layer have been observed by the above mentioned method together with the testing of the evolution of mechanical properties of hardened concrete.
