This study aims to provide an efficient and accurate machine learning (ML) approach for
predicting the creep behavior of concrete. Three ensemble machine learning (EML) models …

Despite the popularity of phase-field models for fracture in purely mechanical problems, their
application to the modeling of fracture in multi-physics problems is much less reported. This …

The E-modulus of early age cement-based materials, and more importantly, its evolution in
time, is one of the most critical material-to-structural design parameters affecting the …

The complex compositions and large shrinkage of concrete, as well as the strong constraints
of the structures, often lead to prominent shrinkage cracking problems in modern concrete …

Cement-based materials are widely used as building materials in practice. However, the
deformations caused by changes in temperature and humidity are large and can easily …

Part 1 of the paper presents a new numerical model of hygro‐thermal and hydration
phenomena in concrete at early ages and beyond. This is a solidification‐type model where …

A hydration kinetics model for Portland cement is formulated based on thermodynamics of
multiphase porous media. The mechanism of cement hydration is discussed based on …

This paper describes the effect of fly ash on the hydration kinetics of cement in low water to
binder (w/b) fly ash-cement at different curing temperatures. The modified shrinking-core …

In the last decade the self-healing of cracks in cementitious materials has been gaining an
increasing interest by both the concrete industry and the scientific community. Framed into …

Rapid development in numerical modelling of materials and the complexity of new models
increase quickly together with their computational demands. Despite the growing …
