Abstract
The microstructure of soil body is considered determining its macro-characters. Meanwhile, the gray level that the SEM images are present is regarded to have a close correlation with microscopic distribution of the soil. Thus, based on GIS, the SEM images of solidified sludge (SS) with different cement content are studied and quantitatively analyzed in this paper. 3D porosities are extracted as the micro-perspective research methods for SS, and the extracted results are compared with the soil test ones to analyze the errors. Conclusions are drawn despite the minor errors between estimated results and soil test ones, quantitatively estimating 3D porosities in a feasible way to offer technical parameters for soil mechanics research, as well as instructing for construction.
