Cement-based materials have complex multi-component, multiscale structures that first form
through chemical reaction and then continue to change with time. As with most classes of …

In the past few decades, extensive research on concrete modeling to predict behavior, crack
propagation, microcrack coalescence by utilizing different approaches (fracture mechanics …

The literature on concrete creep and shrinkage is vast and scattered over many media. A
host of books have already been devoted to this subject. Some are valuable compilations of …

A constitutive model based on the combination of damage mechanics and plasticity is
developed to analyse the failure of concrete structures. The aim is to obtain a model, which …

The present paper deals with the combination of plasticity and damage applied to modeling
of concrete failure. First, the local uniqueness conditions of two types of combinations of …

The Lattice Discrete Particle Model (LDPM) formulated in the preceding Part I of this study is
calibrated and validated in the present Part II. Calibration and validation is performed by …

The mechanical behavior of the mesostructure of concrete is simulated by a three-
dimensional lattice connecting the centers of aggregate particles. The model can describe …

The first part of this two-part study presents a new improved microplane constitutive model
for concrete, representing the fourth version in the line of microplane models developed at …

Mathematical modeling of the nonlinear triaxial behavior and damage of such a complex
material as concrete has been a long-standing challenge in which progress has been made …

We begin the article by summarizing some key developments in the field of Peridynamics
(PD) and arrive at a conclusion that two schools of PD are emerging in recent years. One …
