Abstract
Several postulates exist to potentially explain the formation of the Interfacial Transition Zone (ITZ) [1, 2, 3]. ITZ is a region at the interface between aggregates and the binder in concrete that is believed to be more porous; the interconnected thickness of ITZ is reported to vary between 15 and 100 µm [3]. To better understand the contributions of ITZ during mass transport, a concrete cylinder containing a single coarse aggregate was scanned during water absorption using simultaneous Neutron and X-ray Tomography [4].
