Abstract

There is a strong motivation to study the interfacial properties of concrete composites because the interfacial region is often the phase where fracture first develops. The aim of this study is to understand phenomena which are unique at high-performance concrete composite interfaces, and how these influence the bulk properties of a concrete composite. Since processes at interfaces must be considered over a range of scales varying from the atomic to the macroscopic, multidisciplinary research approaches are desirable. Model cement/rock (aggregate) and matrix/fiber interaction experiments were carried out. Morphology and microstructure of interfacial regions among mortar/rock, and fiber/matrix were examined utilizing SEM. Computer image analysis performed along a perpendicular to the interface revealed compositional and physical irregularities. The variations in the volume of pores adjacent to interface zones are documented and supported by microscopic observation. The influences of interfacial properties on concrete composite strength and durability are discussed, and influences of fibers on the fracture and fracture resistance behavior are also discussed. Analyses of debonding along interfaces are used to define the role of debonding in fiber-reinforced concrete composites.
