This paper presents an experimental study on the effects of the incorporation of rice-husk ash (RHA) in cement paste and concrete on the hydration and the microstructure of the interfacial zone between the aggregate and paste. The influence on the compressive strength of concrete is discussed, and t

The cement paste in the interfacial transition zone (ITZ) around aggregate particles has a significantly higher porosity than bulk cement paste. This elevated porosity will effect the transport properties of concrete. The penetration of Wood's metal into concrete samples indicates that the porosity
A relationship between interfacial bond strength and electrical conductivity of the transition zone has been developed. Microstructural factors affecting the bond strength of a non-porous aggregate-portland cement paste interface are elucidated. The results indicate that two principal factors affect
