In this work, acceleration leaching and three-point bending (TPB) tests were performed on
single-notched TPB beam specimens to explore the evolution of the fracture properties of …

Calcium leaching is one of the essential diseases of cementitious materials and is a time-
varying irreversible process that reduces the structural reliability of concrete. Although some …

Fracture and damage ascribed to the intrinsic brittleness of amorphous oxide glasses are
crucial problems for the daily use of glass products. Because the latest developments in …

Calcium leaching is one of the major causes of concrete structure failure in soft water
environments. In this study, acceleration leaching and three-point bending (TPB) tests were …

Non-uniform corrosion of rebar leads to the cracking of the concrete cover, which reduces
the reliability of structures and increases maintenance costs. In this paper, we present a …

Predicting the failure of reinforced concrete structures due to rebar corrosion is significant in
maintaining the service life of concrete structures. This paper presents a multi-phase-field …

In underground construction, concrete is always subjected to triaxial stress and calcium ion
leaching, which results in anisotropic damage to concrete and reduce the durability of the …

The phase-field modeling approach is integrated with the isogeometric-meshfree approach
to investigate the coupled thermo-mechanical fracture behaviors of composite materials …

Leaching profoundly impacts the mechanical properties and durability of concrete. In a soft
water environment, hydration products such as calcium hydroxide in concrete will gradually …

Temperature-induced concrete fracture is a multi-field coupled process and the propagation
of crack is complex because of the nonhomogeneity of materials. In this paper, the …
