Microstructure of the interfacial zone around aggregate particles in concrete

Concrete may be modeled to consist of cement paste,pore water and inserts. Inserts could be aggregate particles or fillers, fly ash or other pozzolanic materials,reinforcements, and fibers of steel, glass, or natural and synthetic organic materials. Therefore different types of interfaces between the inserts and the cement paste exist. This...
