Lab-based X-ray microscopy is applied to the 3D characterization of cementitious building materials.  A combination of hardware and software advances, including a new iterative reconstruction approach, are used to improve imaging throughput for fast, high resolution scanning of the interior of dense samples.  Results on samples ranging from 8 inches to several mm are presented and used to demonstrate the multiscale quantification approach.
