Interfacial transition zone in mature fiber-reinforced concretes

The interfacial transition zone (ITZ) in concrete is the region of the cement paste that is disturbed by the presence of an aggregate or fiber. This work focuses on the ITZ around silica and dolomite grains and steel fibers. The analysis performed is based on: the macroscale properties of the specim...
