Interfacial fracture behaviour between cement paste and epoxy coating - An experimental and phase-field approach

Surface coatings are mainly applied to protect concrete structures against various environmental conditions. However, the interface between the concrete and coating is a weak link, and interfacial delamination is the primary mode of failure. Fracture resistance is the main design criteria for these...
