Tóm tắt

The paper reports on a two-stage study of the interface between three types of model cylindrical aggregates (sandstone, limestone and granite) and two types of mortar matrix (plain and 20% Silica Fume mortar). In the first stage, the surface roughness (R a) of the aggregates and the interfacial bond strength using push-out specimens have been experimentally determined. In the second, aggregate push-out geometry has been modelled using two different approaches. In the first approach, the surface roughness is ignored and the cylindrical aggregates are assumed to have an ideally smooth surface with a constant radius, r 0 over the aggregate length, L. In the second approach, the surface roughness of the aggregates is included so that the radius, r varies along the length of the cored rock aggregate. Hence, the influence of the surface roughness of the aggregates on the interfacial bond strength is obtained. It is found that the surface roughness plays a significant role in determining the interfacial bond strength, in particular of smaller size aggregates. The effect, however, diminishes as the aggregate size increases, regardless of the aggregate and mortar type.
