Assessment of aggregates- cement paste border in concretes containing silica fume and fly ash

The bond between aggregate and cement paste, called the interfacial transition zone (ITZ) is an important parameter that effect on the mechanical properties and durability of concrete. Transition zone microstructure and porosity (pores) of cement paste or concrete are affected by the type and proper...

Transition zone microstructure and porosity (pores) of cement paste or concrete are affected by the type and properties of materials used which evaluated in this research. On the other hand, the use of efficient, low-cost and reliable method is particularly important for evaluating of concrete performance against the chloride ion penetration and its relationships with transition zone as a suitable index to assess the durability. So far, various methods to approach the electrical Indices are presented.
