A procedure is presented in this paper to estimate the elastic stifness of an aggregate–ITZ system within a cementitious matrix, by considering the relative volumes and the porosities of the concrete components. The method was validated by determining the elastic stifness of both the limestone–ITZ and the electric arc furnace slag (EAFS)–ITZ systems when embedded in a slag-based cementitious matrix. The greater stifness of the EAFS–ITZ system in comparison with the natural aggregate system explained the higher strength and modulus of elasticity of the concrete following additions of EAFS. Moreover, having determined those parameters, the elastic moduli of concretes with a similar cementitious matrix could then be accurately estimated. http://hdl.handle.net/10259/7379 10.1007/s43452-022-00382-z 1644-9665 Elastic stiffness Aggregate-ITZ system Concrete's modulus of elasticity Limestone aggregate Electric arc furnace slag Slag-based cementitious matrix Elastic stiffness estimation of aggregate–ITZ system of concrete through matrix porosity and volumetric considerations: explanation and exemplification
