Interfaces in Cementitious Composites

This book presents a series of high level contributions from leading research groups around the world in the field of cement and concrete science. It deals with the rapidly advancing subject of the interfaces between the components of cementitious materials: cements, aggregates, fibres, reinforcement. It will be valuable for all those involved with research and development into cement and concrete materials. Preface. Part 1.1 Interfacial microstructure and properties: characterization of interfacial microstructure. Part 1.2 Interfacial microstructure and properties: development and nature of interfacial microstructure. Part 1.3 Interfacial microstructure and properties: mechanical properties - technical methods. Part 1.4 Interfacial microstructure and properties: mechanical modelling. Part 2.1 Relationships between microstructure of the interfacial zone and properties of the composite: mechanical properties. Part 2.2 Relationships between microstructure of the interfacial zone and properties of the composite: transport properties. Part 2.3 Relationships between microstructure of the interfacial zone and properties of the composite: environmental conditions. Index.
