Concrete structures when exposed to elevated temperature significantly decline their
original properties. High temperatures substantially affect the concrete physical and …

It is challenging for either traditional modelling or experiments to capture the complex
relationship between the strength of cement composites and the many influencing factors …

This paper presents a systematic investigation on the compressive stress-strain behavior of
ultra-high performance concrete with coarse aggregate (UHPC-CA) subjected to monotonic …

Developing a physics-based model to describe the different types of size effects is one of the
most challenging problems in materials science. In this work, the variations of the maximum …

In this study, the reduction mechanism of the compressive properties of concrete with
mechanically induced crack of different widths and angles was evaluated using a discrete …

An adaptive discretization refinement strategy for steady state discrete mesoscale models of
coupled mechanics and mass transport in concrete is presented. Coupling is provided by …

There have been much research on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) modified cement-based
materials. However, few studies utilized multi-walled CNTs (MWCNTs) to prepare the ultra …

This study experimentally investigates the size effect on the compressive strength and stress-
strain curve of a newly developed concrete material, the compression-cast concrete. The test …
