Discrete models of solids have been motivated, in large part, by the discontinuous and
heterogeneous nature of material structure and its breakdown under loading. The …

In the last few decades, the alkali–silica reaction (ASR) has been reported as one of the
major concrete concerns regarding durability, leading to high maintenance and …

The literature on concrete creep and shrinkage is vast and scattered over many media. A
host of books have already been devoted to this subject. Some are valuable compilations of …

Abstract Alkali-Silica Reaction (ASR), as a harmful internal reaction in concrete, produces
deleterious gel, which occurs due to the reaction between the reactive silica in the …

The rapid development of 3D printed concrete (3DPC) technology, in particular the
integration of reinforcement into the components, emphasizes the need for accurate …

This investigation focused on identifying the impact of various types of steel fibers on the
quasi-static mechanical behavior of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) through …

This paper presents a hybrid machine learning method for the prediction of concrete
expansion induced by alkali-silica reaction (ASR) and assembles a comprehensive and …

Seismic events highlight the inherent fragility and vulnerability of stone masonry buildings,
which represent a large part of the existing historical and artistic heritage. In order to …

The lattice model is a discrete model that is typically used to simulate the fracture process of
brittle materials. This review summarizes the main achievements during the development …

A better understanding of moisture migration in concrete at high temperature can play an
important role to improve the fire-resistance and radiation-shielding capability of concrete …
