The progressive collapse of reinforced concrete (RC) beam-column sub-assemblage under
catenary action (CA) using the alternate load path method to evaluate structures' robustness …

The failure mechanisms of fibre reinforced concrete (FRC) are complicated and governed by
random phases at meso-scale, typically including fibres, mortar and fibre-mortar interfaces …

Using solid waste coal gangue as building materials, especially the coarse aggregate of
concrete, conforms to the concept of environmental protection and saves natural resources …

Recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) is widely used as an alternative recycled material in
engineering, while para-wood ash (PWA) is a natural agricultural waste product. To advance …

The purpose of this work is to investigate the effect of aggregate shape parameters and
interface transition zone (ITZ) thickness on the mechanical properties and failure behavior of …

One widely accepted strategy is to add fiber into recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) to
improve compressive strength. Few existing investigations have focused on the cyclic …

Biomass ashes can be used in cementitious materials as cement or sand substitution.
Nevertheless, ashes resulted from the combustion of biomass in generation plants present …

In the present work, the phase field method implemented by the user-defined element (UEL)
