Influence of the ITZ Thickness on the Damage Performance of Recycled Concrete by Fuwei Xu, Bin Tian, Gang Xu

“…The interfacial transition zone (ITZ) is a weak region of recycled concrete. To further study the influence of the ITZ on the damage performance of recycled concrete, a formula for calculating the ITZ thickness is derived, and the ITZ thickness is calculated for various recycled concrete mixtures with a recycled aggregate content of 30%. …”
