This work is concerned with the precise characterization of the elastic fields due to a
spherical inclusion embedded within a spherical representative volume element (RVE). The …

Paper presents results of FE modelling of failure behaviour of reinforced concrete columns
under eccentric compression. Concrete was described with an elasto-plastic model using …

A previously developed hybrid finite element–scaled boundary finite element method (FEM–
SBFEM) is extended to model multiple cohesive crack propagation in reinforced concrete …

A nonlocal extension of the damage-plasticity model CDPM2 is proposed. The performance
of this extension is evaluated in comparison with a crack band version of the same model for …

Three different models for concrete based on local and non-local approaches have been
adopted to investigate the mechanical behaviour of plain and reinforced concrete when …

A local isotropic single parameter scalar model that can simulate the mechanical behaviour
of quasi-brittle materials, such as concrete, is described. The constitutive law needs the …

This paper reports on a study of physical properties of lightweight cement composite. We
investigate the possibility of replacing traditional aggregate with Granulated Ash Aggregate …

The structural performance of reinforced concrete relies heavily on the bond between
reinforcement and concrete. In nonlinear finite element analyses, bond is either modelled by …

The 2D lattice model was used to analyse fracture processes in concrete at the meso–level.
Concrete was described as a three–phase material (aggregate, interfacial transition zone …

It is now widely recognized in literature that the results of the local damage model are mesh
dependent. Regularization methods which use gradients of equivalent plastic strain in the …
