摘要
A new type of roughness number Rn-o is formulated as a possible analytical tool for surface studies using confocal microscopy. The formulation accommodates fractal dimension and both of the boundary length scales limiting the fiactal region of the fracture surface under investigation. Besides the number Rno other roughness characteristics are discussed and their effectiveness in the field of cementitious materials is tested 3D-surface profile SP and surface roughness SR parameters designed for surface 3D-analysis were calculated for fracture surfaces of hydrated Portland cement pastes with different values of water-to-cement ratio The surface profile SP parameters monotonically increased with water-to-cement ratio and monotonically decreased with compressive strength A short discussion of possible reasons for such a behavior is presented (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd All rights reserved.
