Use Of X-Ray Computated Tomogrphy As Input For Fracture Modelling Of Cement Paste-Aggregate Interface

This work aims to investigate the mechanical properties of the cement paste-aggregate interface by combining experimental and numerical approaches. The multi-phase interface microstructure was obtained by X-ray computed tomography (XCT) and submitted to a discrete fracture lattice model for fracture analysis. Apart from the modelling, a...
