In this paper, a new model for chloride diffusion in cracked concrete is presented. The model
was developed within a standard continuum damage mechanics framework but newly …

The study was devoted to the numerical modelling of concrete-to-concrete interfaces. Such
an interface can be found in many modern composite structures, so proper characterisation …

Reinforced concrete structures, such as roads and bridges, are exposed to chloride ingress,
leading to steel reinforcement corrosion and reduced service life. Accurate numerical …

The continuum damage model should be regularized to ensure mesh-insensitive results in
simulations of strain localization, eg, for concrete cracking under tension. The paper …

The paper investigates a mechanical quasi-static size effect in concrete during splitting
tension at the macro-and meso-level. In experiments, five different diameters of cylindrical …

Indirect measure of the tensile strength of laboratory samples is an important topic in rock
engineering. One of the most important tests, the Brazilian strength test is performed to …

The paper presents a simple upgrade of the scalar gradient-enhanced damage model, in
which the intensity of damage growth is scaled for the volumetric part of the response. The …

This paper focuses on a comparison of two regularized continuum models for concrete in the
simulations of selected benchmarks of response to impact loading. Their overview is …

The paper presents an overview of two enhanced constitutive models: Burzynski-Hoffman
viscoplastic consistency model and scalar gradient damage model. They are used for the …

This paper deals with the constitutive modeling of Recycled Aggregate Concrete (RAC) in
which natural coarse aggregates are partially or totally replaced by recycled concrete …
