TL;DR: In this article, the thermal degradation of modulus of elasticity of concrete is modeled by composite mechanics at three scales of observation: (a) at the level of concrete, (b) at level of mortar, and (c) the cement paste level, where the change of volume fractions of the constituents are evaluated based on phase transformations which take place in different temperature ranges.

TL;DR: In this article, three-point bending tests were conducted on notched beams to compare the fracture properties of alkali-activated slag (AAS) concrete and ordinary Portland cement (OPC) concrete at three different compressive strength levels (30, 50 and 70 MPa).
