January

The figure is taken from Julia Rogalski’s bachelor’s thesis titled “Experimental Investigations into Material Degradation and Microstructure of Aggregate-Porous Lightweight Concrete and Its Raw Materials” at the Chair of Construction Materials, in which experimental studies on the frost-de-icing salt resistance of aggregate-porous lightweight concrete were conducted. Shown is the microstructure of an aggregate-porous lightweight concrete with expanded shale, imaged using a light microscope at 20x magnification.
