Further understanding of the mechanical responses and the failure mechanism of concrete
under different loadings, the mesoscale modelling approach considering the heterogeneity …

The micro-cracks in concrete structures are inevitable due to deterioration throughout their
service life through various load combination factors. For that reason, there is a need to …

A significant step in space exploration during the 21st century will be human settlement on
Mars. Instead of transporting all the construction materials from Earth to the red planet with …

This study presents the formulation and validation of a three-dimensional Flow Lattice Model
(FLM) with application to the Hygro-Thermo-Chemical (HTC) model for analysis of moisture …

Current demand for novel highly sustainable concrete urges improving the links between
chemical and mechanical effects of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) on the …

Alkali Silica Reaction (ASR) is known to be a serious problem for concrete worldwide,
especially in high humidity and high temperature regions. ASR is a slow process that …

Explosive thermal spalling behavior during fire exposure is one of the major issues in the
design of modern reinforced concrete structures. Previous experience on fire disasters …

Ultra high performance concretes (UHPCs) are cementitious composite materials with high
level of performance characterized by high compressive strength, high tensile strength and …

Shale, like many other sedimentary rocks, is typically heterogeneous and anisotropic and is
characterized by partial alignment of anisotropic clay minerals and naturally formed bedding …

The alkali–silica reaction (ASR) is one of the major long-term deterioration mechanisms
occurring in concrete structures subjected to high humidity levels, such as bridges and …
