Abstract:Concrete in its macrostructure is a multiphase cementitious composite material, however, by reducing its scale, it is possible to identify the phases that compose it, among the phases are those embedded in the microscale: the hydrated silicates, in the mesoscale: the cement paste, transition zones and aggregates and in the macro phase: the composite itself. Modeling this type of material with two-phase micromechanical models is common in the literature, but there are already proven limitations that two-phase m… Show more
