This work proposes a novel numerical framework to investigate 3D chloride diffusion
behavior in reinforced concrete (RC). An efficient dynamic modeling approach is developed …

The establishment of meso-concrete models under complex boundary conditions still faces
great challenges at present. In this study, a numerical framework for constructing concrete …

Chloride ion attack is a major cause of concrete durability problems, and existing studies
have rarely addressed the effects of damage zones. In this paper, an improved mesoscale …

Through the actual situation of on-site construction and building, it could be found that the
filling quality of the SCC filling layer had a large correlation with the apparent morphology of …

This study investigates the natural diffusion laws of chloride ions and iodide ions in concrete
and proposes their correlations during the process of diffusion. By measuring the free ion …

As a typical heterogeneous composite material, concrete's complex physical and
mechanical behaviors on the macroscale are controlled by its mesoscale components and …

The limestone powder has been a preferred admixture in cement-based materials due to its
abundant availability and potential to reduce carbon emission. The purpose of this study is …

In this paper, a time-varying analytical model for chloride ion diffusion in Prestressed
Concrete Cylinder Pipe (PCCP) protective layer is established based on the separation of …

Aggregate shape is essential for evaluating concrete properties. Most of the existing
literature utilizes X-ray computed tomography (X-CT) to assess the morphological …

An improved mesoscale model including the damage zone is proposed to simulate the
effects of cracks, water-cement ratio and aggregate shape on chloride diffusion in concrete …
