This paper presents a novel smoothing gradient damage model, which goes beyond certain
limitations of conventional methods, for accurate prediction of localized failure in quasi-brittle …

To date, only linear elastic analyses have been used to explain the compression behavior of
the concrete masonry prisms. In this study, nonlinear three-dimensional finite element …

A damage mechanics-based numerical model for simulating the fracture process of concrete
is presented. The model is based on knowledge of heterogeneity of concrete at the meso …

The main purpose of this article is to experimentally and numerically study the improvements
introduced by the grout injection strengthening technique for the structural rehabilitation of …

The evaluation of the material properties of masonry built with traditional lime mortar
remains largely unclear to what extent the complex mechanical behavior of its constituents …

A numerical model that can simulate the fracture process of plain concrete under variety of
plane stress conditions is introduced and used to simulate the fracture patterns of concrete …

Puisque seulement un nombre limité d'études expérimentales et analytiques ont été
effectués afin de développer les procédures de conception de résistance pour des colonnes …

A hyperplastic material model with damage was developed in order to describe the non-
linear mechanical behaviour of woven composites. The proposed model is based on …

Over the past years, features of the computers aided numerical simulations of reinforced
concrete (RC) have been improved with increasing technological developments. However …

This paper aims to develop a practical approach to modeling of fiber reinforced polymers
(FRP) strengthened masonry panels. The main objective is to provide suitable relations for …
