TL;DR: In this paper, the mass balance equation of calcium in the liquid phase is used to model the leaching process of pure cement paste and a mortar and a finite volume method is applied for the numerical simulations.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an overview of the previous studies carried out on the use of waste glass as partial or full natural fine aggregate replacement in traditional mortar/concrete mixtures based on Portland cement (PC).

TL;DR: No reaction has been detected with particle size up to 100mum thus indicating the feasibility of the waste glass reuse as fine aggregate in mortars and concrete, and waste glass seems to positively contribute to the mortar micro-structural properties resulting in an evident improvement of its mechanical performance.

Abstract: A comprehensive experimental program on pullout and pullthorugh tests of steel fibers from a cement-based matrix is described. Emphasis is placed on the accurate measurements of the pullout load versus end-slip response. Parameters included 3 different type of fibers, three different mortar matrixes with low medium, and high strengths, one cement-based slurry matrix, and additives such as latex, fly ash, and microsilica. The medium from which the fiber was pulled out included a control mortar mix without fibers, mortar mixes with 1, 2, and 3 % fibers by volume, and a SIFCON matrix containing about 11 % fibers by volume. For smooth fibers, 5 different diameters and 3 different embedment lengths were investigated. Experimental pullout load versus slip curves are needed to derive typical bond shear stress versus slip curves considered to be a property of the interface.
