Modelling failure in geomaterials, concrete or other quasi‐brittle materials and proper
accounting for size effect, geometry and boundary effects are still pending issues …

The purpose of this paper is to analyse the development and the evolution of the fracture
process zone during fracture and damage in quasi‐brittle materials. A model taking into …

The development of realistic numerical tools to efficiently model the response of concrete
structures subjected to close-in detonations and high velocity impact has been one of the …

Failure of quasi-brittle materials such as concrete needs a proper description of strain
softening due to progressive micro-cracking and the introduction of an internal length in the …

The degradation of quasi-brittle materials encompasses micro-cracks propagation,
interaction and coalescence in order to form a macro-crack. These phenomena are located …

The purpose of this paper is to present a new macroscopic approach to describe the
evolving non-local interactions which are produced at the mesoscale during damage and …

The degradation of quasi-brittle materials encompasses micro-crack propagation, interaction
and coalescence in order to form a macro-crack. These phenomena are located …

Past earthquake events showed that, even though code stipulated separation distance has
been provided between adjacent building structures, mutual pounding may be observed …

L'intérêt de ce travail porte sur la description du processus de fissuration du béton soumis à
des sollicitations mécaniques. Une comparaison numérique/expérimental a permis de …
