Constitutive modelling of geomaterials that can both describe the field-scale behaviour and
microscopic details while dealing with hydro-mechanical coupling problems is crucial for …

Localized failure in the form of narrow tabular deformation bands is a typical feature of high
porosity rocks. The inherent heterogeneity of such materials along with various …

One of the primary concerns in structural engineering is the prediction of response of
concrete structures under various environmental and loading conditions. The accurate …

Aggregate size effect is among several important factors that affect concrete mechanical
behavior. In this study, this effect is investigated numerically, and the obtained results are …
