Despite the widespread use of concrete as a structural material, our knowledge about its
exact mechanical properties and physical behavior under complex stress states is still …

The influence of the loading rate on the mode I fracture property of rocks has been
extensively investigated through experiments. However, the rate-effect of the dynamic mode …

The dynamic compressive behavior of concrete is closely associated with the specimen size
effect and the coupling effect of strain rate and specimen size on the compressive properties …

Under marine and industrial-polluted environments, reinforced concrete structures (RC
structures) are attacked by carbonation and chloride penetration; both can cause …

A comprehensive review of destructive testing techniques to understand concrete behavior
is presented in this work. The main objective of this article is to summarize the literature from …

Under marine environment, reinforced concrete structures are suffering from serious
deterioration problems. The sea water contains abundant contents of ion species including …

The K&C material model is widely used to numerically predict the responses of concrete
structures against impact or blast loadings. In the literature, most of the K&C parameters are …

Roller compacted concrete (RCC) has been widely used in large scale constructions such
as hydraulic structures and pavement. Because of the construction process, it has some …

The fracture surface roughness of grain-based geomaterials is one of the significant factors
reflecting the changes in certain physical and mechanical properties. In this paper, the …

The fracturing properties and acoustic characteristics of heterogeneous and matrix-inclusion
rocks are crucial to the safety of underground infrastructures and mining projects under …
