X-ray computed tomography (CT) is a non-destructive technique that offers a 3D insight into
the microstructure of thick (opaque) samples with virtually no preliminary sample …

Concrete can be considered as a heterogeneous material at mesoscale comprising of
several constituents such as aggregates, mortar and Interfacial Transition Zone (ITZ) …

This paper presents a meso-scale modelling framework to investigate the fracture process in
concrete subjected to uniaxial and biaxial compression accounting for its mesostructural …

Concrete with coarse aggregate in the 3D concrete printing (3DCP) has broad prospects for
high strength, low cost and shrinkage. In this study, an extrusion-based 3D printer was …

Cement-based materials are generally highly heterogeneous, and their material properties
are strongly affected by the characteristics and spatial distributions of each constituent …

This paper presents a mesoscopic discrete modeling approach for studying compression
and fracture behavior of concrete. A modified piecewise linear sieve curve was proposed to …

Polypropylene fibers are distributed in concrete with varying shapes and quantities, which is
not conducive to microscopic modeling and analysis. This study aims to establish an …

Ship emissions problems caused by the rapid development of maritime trade can't be
ignored. The NO X, SO X, CO 2, PM and other toxic substances contained in the exhaust gas …

This work aimed to investigate the feasibility of utilizing the low-quality desulfurization ash
from semi-dry flue gas desulfurization by mixing with α-hemihydrate gypsum, and then the …

This work aimed to assess the influence of vinyl acetate and ethylene copolymer dispersible
powder (VAE-P) on the performance and interfacial transition zone (ITZ) of pervious …
