Abstract

Concrete can be viewed as a continuous, homogeneous and isotropic material when the investigation does not consider the microstructure scale (this level will not be considered in this report). “Interface”, as generally defined, is a physical limit between two materials. Such a limit can be viewed as an alteration of the mechanical continuity of concrete, and then, as a possible alteration of its mechanical and physical properties.
