To capture the uniaxial compression fracture of concrete composite is still a great
challenging problem. To this end, the newly proposed nonlocal macro–meso-scale …

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 …

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 …

Mesoscale modelling is a promising tool to analyse the phenomenological causes of
mechanical failure of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC). Most mesoscale models of RAC …

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 …

In the present work, the phase field method implemented by the user-defined element (UEL)
subroutine of commercial finite element software ABAQUS is adopted to investigate the …

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 …

Due to the limitation of current experimental measurements, there is an almost
insurmountable challenge to determine the mechanical tensile properties of interfacial …
