Compared with the ground service environment, the evolution of concrete performance
under a water pressure service environment is quite complex with variable conditions …

We describe a novel implicit level set algorithm to locate the free boundary for a propagating
hydraulic fracture. A number of characteristics of the governing equations for hydraulic …

In recent years, the authors have proposed a new double‐node zero‐thickness interface
element for diffusion analysis via the finite element method (FEM)(Int. J. Numer. Anal. Meth …

We present an implicit moving mesh algorithm for the study of the propagation of plane-
strain hydraulic fracture in an impermeable medium. In particular, the fluid front is allowed to …

Quantitative failure monitoring is a critical tool for safety assessment of concrete dams. This
includes damage occurrence, intensity, location, number, size, and propagation pattern …

A 2D lattice approach to describe hydraulic fracturing is presented. The interaction of fluid
pressure and mechanical response is described by Biot's theory. The lattice model is …

In this study, the three-dimensional (3D) near-fault earthquake performance of the Oroville
dam is examined considering a special material model and various seismic boundary …

An extended ordinary state-based peridynamic model and numerical approach were
proposed for modelling fluid–solid interaction and hydraulic fracturing. The deformation and …

Based on the self-developed high permeability water pressure loading system, the physical
and mechanical properties and pore structure evolution under various high permeability …

We study the application of fatigue loads as an activation agent of the self-healing
mechanism of concrete. This can lead to improvements in the strength of the material …
