Sensitivity of the strength and toughness of concrete to the properties of the interfacial transition zone

C. E. Torrence et al.

Summary: Understanding the durability and fracture behavior of concrete is crucial for civil infrastructure. The interfacial transition zone (ITZ), which is considered the weakest region in concrete, has a significant impact on the stiffness and strength of concrete. This study simulated the mechanical response and fracture under compression and tension using a meshless numerical method called peridynamics. The results showed strong relationships between the ITZ properties and the effective modulus and yield strength of concrete, providing insight into the influence of the poorly characterized ITZ on concrete properties. The study demonstrated the applicability of peridynamics to concrete systems and offered valuable information for future design decisions.

Full process of calcium silicate hydrate decalcification: Molecular structure, dynamics, and mechanical properties

Yu Zhang et al.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of decalcification on calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) using molecular dynamics and experiments. The results reveal that decalcification leads to transformation of the C-S-H molecular structure and dynamics characteristics, which in turn affect its mechanical properties.

From atomic-scale to mesoscale: A characterization of geopolymer composites using molecular dynamics and peridynamics simulations

Mohammad Rafat Sadat et al.

Summary: A multiscale approach combining molecular dynamics (MD) and peridynamics (PD) simulations was used to investigate the mechanical behavior of geopolymer composites (GC). The MD determined intrinsic mechanical properties which were then input into PD simulations. It was found that the strength of GC increases with increasing domain sizes of the constituent phases.

Nano- and micro-scale characterisation of interfacial transition zone (ITZ) of high volume slag and slag-fly ash blended concretes containing nano SiO2 and nano CaCO3

Anwar Hosan et al.

Summary: This paper investigates the effect of adding nano calcium carbonate and nano silica on the interfacial transition zone of high volume slag and high volume slag-fly ash blended concretes. The results show that the addition of nano materials can improve the microstructure and mechanical properties of concrete, resulting in increased compressive strength.

Molecular insights into the weakening effect of water on cement/epoxy interface

Zechuan Yu et al.

Summary: Research has shown that water molecules significantly weaken the interfacial integrity of FRP/concrete bonded system in wet conditions, leading to interfacial degradation and a shift in failure mode.

Unraveling disadhesion mechanism of epoxy/CSH interface under aggressive conditions

Dongshuai Hou et al.

Summary: This study utilized molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the degradation mechanisms of the epoxy/CSH interface under different environmental exposures. It was found that water molecules weaken the interaction between the epoxy and CSH, reducing the mechanical performance of the interface. Additionally, the presence of aggressive ions accelerated the degradation process of the epoxy/CSH interface.
