Nanomechanical characteristics of interfacial transition zone in nano-engineered concrete (2021, background): “This zone acts as the weakest phase in concrete at the mesoscale, thus determining the performance of concrete to a certain extent [5,6].”
On the effect of ITZ thickness in meso-scale models of concrete (2020, background): “Typical value of the ITZ thickness, denoted hereafter by h, varies between 10 and 50 lm [28,29].”
A review on the mechanical properties of cement-based materials measured by nanoindentation (2015, methodology): “Meanwhile, the mechanical properties of interface transition zone (ITZ) in aggregate and fiber reinforced cementitious composites were investigated through the application of nanoindentation [1,41,51, 52,54,55,61,80,84,96,104–107].”
