Abstract: As the main hydration products, calcium-silicate-hydrate (C─ S─ H) and portlandite (CH) contribute significantly to the tensile strength of cementitious materials. However, the role of interface in the C─ S─ H/CH composites ...

Abstract: Cementitious materials contain multiple phases, from the nanoscale to the macroscale. Although different mechanical properties are observed at each scale length, similarities can still be found in their spatial structural ...
