Concrete is a heterogeneous material at the mesoscale, with components that significantly
influence its macroscale behavior. In this study, a wings-crack based model which could …

A new approach for concurrent multiscale modeling of three-dimensional crack propagation
in concrete is proposed. A macroscopic model with homogenized elastic parameters is …

It is necessary to consider coupled analysis methods for a simulation to accurately predict
the long-term deformations of concrete structures. Among other physical fields that can be …

The micro-damage associated with diffuse fracture processes in quasi-brittle materials can
be described by continuum damage mechanics. In order to overcome the mesh dependence …

A new formulation to model the mechanical behavior of high performance fiber reinforced
cement composites with arbitrarily oriented short fibers is presented. The formulation can be …

A modelling strategy is proposed to link the meso-scale mechanical response of a solid
material to the macroscopic material behaviour. The model is based on a regular lattice of …

The non-destructive assessment of cracks in concrete is a common task for which non-
destructive evaluation solutions have been published. Primarily, these tests have been …

Yunnan Province has emerged as a trailblazer in fostering an ecological civilization,
assuming a prominent and pioneering role as the vanguard of ecological conservation in the …

Understanding the early-age behaviour of concrete is of importance for designing durable
concrete structures. To contribute to the improvement of this, a hygro-thermo-chemo …

This paper presents a global–local strategy with the generalized finite element framework to
simulate structural failure through nonlinear continuum damage models. The global problem …
