Abstract:
Exceptional physical and mechanical properties of laterite is mainly determined by the micro-structure characteristic of it. This article analysed mierostructural characteristics of Kunming laterite under the electron microscope, extracted from the processed photos in the microstructure of laterite. The average perimeter, the maximum area, the degrees of roundness, the degrees of complexity, the degrees of directed and quantitative parameters of fractal dimension and distribution, and also the quantitative parameter associated with the physical and mechanical properties of laterite.
