This paper presents an efficient numerical framework for the seismic analysis of post-
tensioned concrete gravity dams, which automatically inserts anchors into the structure. The …

A novel approach for mesoscale modelling of concrete composites is proposed by
combining enriched scaled boundary finite element methods with quad-tree mesh. The …

Cosserat continuum method can be used to solve stress concentration of holes. However,
with the shape limitation of its elements, it is worthwhile to improve the element quality so …

In this paper, a novel crack and void identification method is proposed based on the scaled
boundary finite element method (SBFEM) with the pixel-based quadtree mesh and the …

The traditional finite element analysis for irregular design domains often encounters
challenges such as intricate mesh discretization and inaccurate boundary description. In this …

In the present work, we propose a new approach, the so-called compressed adaptive
integration scheme (C-AIS), for the computation of the stiffness and mass matrices in …
