Description
Summary:Concrete is a multiphase composite material, in which the mortar, aggregate and interfacial transition zone (ITZ) have important influence on the chloride ions transport. In this research, the thickness ITZ was measured and the concentration distribution of chloride ions in concrete was obtained through electron microprobe analysis. The experiment results that the thickness of ITZ follows a normal distribution and the size of aggregate shows no clear influence on the thickness of ITZ.
