  • The interfacial transition zone (ITZ) in geopolymers is generally stronger than the ITZ between cement and aggregate in ordinary Portland cement concrete.

    “Unlike the interfacial transition zone (ITZ) between cement and aggregate, which is the weakest part of ordinary Portland cement concrete [22], the ITZ in geopolymers is generally stronger [23].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
