In the past few decades, extensive research on concrete modeling to predict behavior, crack
propagation, microcrack coalescence by utilizing different approaches (fracture mechanics …

A coupled thermal-elastic-plastic-damage model for concrete subjected to dynamic loading
is proposed. This model is formulated in the thermodynamic framework, with the adoption of …

The behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) structures under severe demands, as strong
ground motions, is highly complex; this is mainly due to joint operation of concrete and steel …

In this part II, companion article, we present the numerical review of continuum damage
mechanics and plasticity in the context of finite element. The numerical advancements in …

Understanding the strain rate effects on cement-based materials are important for accurately
modeling concrete structure damage to high-velocity impact and blast loads. This paper …

Hydraulic concrete structures in cold regions are vulnerable to freeze–thaw (FT) damage,
which will affect the fracture performance of concrete structures. Hence, the fracture …

The reuse of waste rubber has a profound impact on environmental protection and resource
recycling. To evaluate the feasibility of adding waste rubber into pervious concrete, the …

Considering that freeze–thaw (FT) damage has a serious degradation effect on the
performance of concrete materials in cold regions and constraint is a common boundary …

In this paper, we simulate the dynamic fracture and failure of three-dimensional concrete
structures using the peridynamic theory. Considering the heterogeneities and mesoscopic …

A dynamic testing system for concrete-like material under static triaxial confinements is
developed in the present article. The cubic specimen with length 50 mm is constrained by …
