The aggregate-mortar interface
AbstractThe aggregate-mortar interface is studied by scanning electron microscope and X-ray diffraction. This study confirmed that calcium hydroxide and ettringite are formed by a “through-solution” mechanism in this zone. The thickness of the transition phase depends on the size and shape of the sand particles. These originate their own surface effects which interfere with those caused by the large aggregate.
