Abstract:In this paper, we present a study about the assessment of structural feature and ionic diffusivity of interfacial transition zone (ITZ) in blended cementitious composites, which are made of Portland cement, blast furnace slag and limestone filler. In particular, three mortar series are examined with respect to varying replacement levels of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs), curing age and water-to-binder (w/b) ratio. Based on the techniques of experimental measurement and numerical simulation, i.e., … Show more
