Effects of acid attack and cassava flour dosage on the interfacial transition zone thickness, durability and mechanical characteristics of high-strength (HS) concrete
Due to its higher porosity, the interfacial transition zone (ITZ), that is, the zone between the hardened cement paste (HCP) and the aggregate, is the weakest point in concrete. It is less resistant to cracking than both HCP and aggregate, and microcracks begin in this zone when the load is applied...
