Mechanical analysis of cement-biochar composites using in-situ X-ray microtomography and digital volume correlation
- This study addresses biochar as a potential carbon-sequestering filler in cement and examines its effect on mechanical properties using X-ray computed tomography (XCT) and digital volume correlation (DVC). DVC was reliably used to measure global displacement and has proven to be an effective method for correcting displacement data obtained from mechanical tests conducted without traditional instrumentation, such as extensometer. This made it possible to measure strain and Young’s modulus accurately. The results demonstrate that while 5 vol% biochar replacement had minimal effect on mechanical properties, a 25 vol% biochar replacement caused a 35 % reduction in Young’s modulus and 40 % reduction in the ultimate compressive strength. Additionally, DVC detected strain concentrations and predicted material failure locations even when cracks could not be quantified using XCT alone. Moreover, the study reveals that biochar particles, due to their sharp geometry, increase internal shearThis study addresses biochar as a potential carbon-sequestering filler in cement and examines its effect on mechanical properties using X-ray computed tomography (XCT) and digital volume correlation (DVC).
