X-ray tomography datasets associated with the article "Moisture content impact on the dimensional and mechanical behavior of binders based on MgO and hydromagnesite or nesquehonite"

This repository provides the X-ray tomography datasets shown and discussed in the article "Moisture content impact on the dimensional and mechanical behavior of binders based on MgO and hydromagnesite or nesquehonite" by V. Hallet, M. Griffa, M. Wyrzykowski, F. Winnefeld, B. Lothenbach, submitted to the journal Materials and Structures. Each dataset consists of a .zip file, which contains a stack of 2D TIFF image files. Such files are the vertical cross-sections (aka tomographic slices) of the tomographed volume of a single sample. The following tomograms are available in this repository: MHY_80_20_wb0.65_36RH_Full_SlicesX.7z: full tomogram of a region of interest (ROI) of a mortar sample cast with hydromagnesite (Hy) and continuously cured at 36% relative humidity (RH), measured at 183 days of curing; MHY_80_20_wb0.65_36RH_Local_SlicesX.7z: local tomogram of the same mortar sample mentioned above: MNQ_80_20_wb0.65_36RH_Full_SlicesX.7z: full tomogram of a region of interest (ROI) of a mortar sample cast with nesquehonite (Nq) and continuously cured at 36% relative humidity (RH), measured at 183 days of curing; MNQ_80_20_wb0.65_36RH_Local_SlicesX.7z: local tomogram of the same sample mentioned at the preceding point. Any tomogram can be visually inspected by importing it, e.g., as an image sequence in ImageJ/Fiji (File --> Import --> Image Sequence ... menu followed by selecting the folder containing the stack of slices).
