Nano materials are well known for their excellent performance over a wide range of
applications. Several studies have examined the effective utilization of nano particles in …

New Trends in Eco-efficient and Recycled Concrete describes different recycled materials
that have been used in eco-efficient concrete, reviewing previous publications to identify the …

The variability in characteristics of concrete material, such as pore size and chemical
composition, has significant impact on the long-term performance of concrete structures …

Identifying the properties of the region where the cement paste meets the aggregate surface
(interfacial transition zone, ITZ) is critical to understanding the strength and fracture behavior …

In this paper, a three-dimensional meso‑scopic concrete model based on ANSYS
Parametric Design Language programs was newly proposed to simulate the chloride …

The study of material failure phenomena with coupled multiple scales is a need and a
challenge. The fundamental difficulty in these problems is due to multiscale bridging …

Non-dispersible underwater concrete (NUC) is a kind of widely used construction
engineering material. It has added flocculant so that concrete can have the characteristics of …

Abstract A three-dimensional (3D) realistic numerical modelling method is proposed to
simulate the fracture process of concrete based on its meso-structure. In the 3D realistic …

In the present contribution, the effective mechanical, diffusive, and chemo-expansive
properties of concrete are computed from a multi-scale and multi-physics approach. The …

The good bond property is the base for rebar and concrete to work together, influencing the
mechanical behaviour of reinforced concrete structures. To investigate the bond-slip …
