Influence of the roughness of aggregate surface on the interface …
The contribution of coarse aggregate in transferring the stresses in high-strength concrete (HSC) is very important. The microcrack formation and its growth at the interface are significantly influenced by the bond strength and fracture toughness. Since the mortar–aggregate interface in HSC is stronger, cracks transmit into the aggregate.
