Interfacial Transition Zone in Concrete

An important new state-of-the-art report prepared by RILEM Technical Committee 108 ICC. It has been written by a team of leading international experts from the UK USA Canada Israel Germany Denmark South Africa Italy and France. Research studies over recent years in the field of cement science have focused on the behaviour of the interfaces between the components of cement-based materials. The techniques used in other areas of materials science are being applied to the complex materials found in cements and concretes and this book provides a significant survey of the present state of the art.
