Abstract:
I have referred to concrete as a two-phase material and I would like to consider this topic further, with special reference to the modulus of elasticity of the composite product. In general terms, a composit material consisting of two phases can have two fundamentally different forms. The first of these is an ideal composite hard material, which has a continuous matrix of an elastic phase with a high modulus of elasticity, and embedded particles of a lower modulus. The second type of structure is tha tof an ideal composite soft material, which consists of elastic particles with a high modulus of elasticity, embedded in a continuous matrix phase with a lower modulus.
