AbstractThe objective of this paper is to propose a method to estimate the average values of the dynamic modulus of elasticity and the dynamic shear modulus of cement paste-aggregate interfacial zones in mortar by applying the Logarithmic Mixture Rule (LMR). Both portland cement mortars (PC mortars) and portland cement mortars with silica fume (SF mortars) are investigated and compared, The influence of silica fume on the dynamic moduli of interfacial zone is also examined. Results indicate that for the specific ingredients and mix design used, the dynamic modulus of elasticity of interfacial zone falls between 0.4 and 2.0 (×10 6 psi) for PC mortar and 1.2 to 2.2 (× 106 psi) for SF mortar. These values are lower than the values obtained for PC mortar (4.2 ×106 psi), PC paste (2.7 ×106 psi), SF mortar (4.4 ×106 psi), and SF paste (2.5 × 106 psi).
