by Mechanism Diagram is an important visualization tool in concrete research, which can dynamically present the correlation between material microstructure and macroscopic properties, and transform complex physical and chemical processes into intuitive scientific expressions.
In the literature of concrete science, such diagrams are not only used to analyze core mechanisms such as hydration reactions, interface transition zone formation, and crack propagation, but also to clearly demonstrate cutting-edge research content such as the mechanism of action of new additives, CO ₂ mineralization and solidification processes, and triggering principles of self-healing systems.
As a cross disciplinary universal ‘scientific language’, mechanism diagrams play the following key roles:.
