Experimental Study of Diffusivity of the Interfacial Transition Zone between Cement Paste and Aggregate
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the diffusivity of the interfacial transition zone (ITZ) experimentally using cementitious composite materials made of rod-shaped aggregates and cement mortar. Two types of tests were conducted: the porosity distribution of the ITZ at different distances from aggregate surface was measured by backscattered electron images, and the water vapor diffusivity of the composites was measured by the penetration rate of water vapor through thin slides of specimens. The surface roughness of rod-shaped aggregates was considered as a testing parameter. The diffusivity of ITZ was calculated based on the measured diffusivities of the composite and it was also modeled according to the measured porosity distribution within the ITZ. The results showed that the porosity of ITZ decreases with increasing distance from the aggregate surface, a rougher aggregate surface decreases the porosity of ITZ in the first 10 μm from the aggregate surface, and the ratio of averaged water vapor diffusivity of ITZ to the diffusivity of bulk cement paste is approximately 60, which agreed with the test results quite well.
