 abstract={The microstructure of a material is a key factor in determining its properties and durability. This article highlights key findings from microstructural investigations of concrete-like composites, focusing on their practical applicability. A usability function and trends of its classification are proposed in order to demonstrate the potential of various microscopic techniques in addressing research questions within the field of building materials. In this part of the analysis, various investigations have focused on aggressive factors that affect the microstructures and might cause corrosion of concrete-like composites. The findings of this study highlight that the impact of corrosive agents on Portland cement composites cannot be comprehensively assessed without a detailed investigation of their microstructure. This underscores the pivotal role of microscopic techniques in the evaluation of concrete-based materials.. Furthermore, the significant progress is expected in the near future as image analysis becomes increasingly supported by Artificial Intelligence.},
