DOI: 10.1016/j.conbuildmat.2021.123332
Abstract: Abstract Using meso-structural representations of concrete, with aggregates dispersed in mortar, has become a standard approach for damage and fracture analysis. However, there is no full agreement on appropriate modelling of different phases and on… read more here.

DOI: 10.1155/2020/8919681
Abstract: In this paper, the influence of graphene oxide (GO) on the microstructure of interfacial transition zone (ITZ) in cement mortar was investigated through image analysis (IA) of backscattered electron (BSE) micrographs. The results showed that… read more here.
