To explore the specimen aspect-ratio (height-to-diameter ratio) effect on the compressive
behavior of coral aggregate concrete (CAC), a three-dimensional (3D) mesoscale modelling …

An effective numerical method is proposed in this paper to generate a meso-scale
composite model of reinforcement concrete (RC) which contains aggregates with random …

In the construction of island and reef engineering, coral concrete shows a good application
prospect due to its abundant raw materials. However, the porous and fragile mechanical …

An investigation that combines both experimental tests and mesoscopic modelling is
conducted to characterize the dynamic splitting-tensile behavior of coral aggregate concrete …

Coral aggregate concrete (CAC) is one of the typical quasi-brittle materials, which is of great
significance to explore the damage process of CAC under load from the perspective of …

In the present study, a 3D meso-scale model of plain concrete has been developed with
