The progressive collapse of reinforced concrete (RC) beam-column sub-assemblage under
catenary action (CA) using the alternate load path method to evaluate structures' robustness …

The purpose of this work is to investigate the effect of aggregate shape parameters and
interface transition zone (ITZ) thickness on the mechanical properties and failure behavior of …

In this study, the matrix pores and ITZ effects on the mechanical properties of seawater sea-
sand coral aggregate concrete (SSCAC) were investigated via the meso-element equivalent …

A new aggregate placement algorithm has been developed that can automatically identify
the remaining space after the aggregate is placed, and only new aggregates are placed in …

Through the actual situation of on-site construction and building, it could be found that the
filling quality of the SCC filling layer had a large correlation with the apparent morphology of …

The low-temperature brittle failure of materials could aggravate the brittle characteristics of
shear failure of RC beams, which urgently needs scientific research. This paper aims to …

This article presents a novel two-dimensional quadrilateral solid finite element model,
enhanced by incompatible modes and embedded strong discontinuity for simulation of …

There is a constant need to predict the dynamic properties of composite materials already at
the design stage. A particularly attractive tool for achieving this goal is mesoscale finite …

In the current paper, the dynamic mechanical properties of sustainable lightweight
aggregate concrete (SLAC) were numerically studied with a newly developed mesoscopic …

Modeling the meso-scale behavior of a material allows one to answer many problems in an
inductive reasoning approach. By simulating the behavior of the sample, researchers can …
