Abstract
To measure the mechanical properties of the interfacial transition zone (ITZ) in ultra-high performance concrete with coarse aggregates (UHPC-CA) under direct load, a mesoscopic experimental analysis is performed using a combination of an electron microscope (EM) camera and digital image correlation (DIC) technology in this study. With such a methodology, the stress-strain curve of the ITZ under compression is measured directly. Furthermore, the distribution of the nominal compressive elastic modulus (E*) and Poisson's ratio (v) of the ITZ is obtained. Finally, the effects of granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS) contents (0 %, 30 %, 40 %, and 50 %) on ITZ’s properties are investigated, and their relevance to microstructure is further explored by scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results indicate that the E * in the ITZ follows a 'U'-shaped distribution. In comparison to the reinforced matrix, a compaction process in ITZ is observed obviously, resulting in a smaller v in this region. Besides, as the GGBS content increases, the mesoscopic mechanical properties of the ITZ gradually decline.
期刊介绍:
Construction and Building Materials offers an international platform for sharing innovative and original research and development in the realm of construction and building materials, along with their practical applications in new projects and repair practices. The journal publishes a diverse array of pioneering research and application papers, detailing laboratory investigations and, to a limited extent, numerical analyses or reports on full-scale projects. Multi-part papers are discouraged.
Additionally, Construction and Building Materials features comprehensive case studies and insightful review articles that contribute to new insights in the field. Our focus is on papers related to construction materials, excluding those on structural engineering, geotechnics, and unbound highway layers. Covered materials and technologies encompass cement, concrete reinforcement, bricks and mortars, additives, corrosion technology, ceramics, timber, steel, polymers, glass fibers, recycled materials, bamboo, rammed earth, non-conventional building materials, bituminous materials, and applications in railway materials.
