Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling and simulation of quasi-brittle failure with continuous anisotropic stress-based gradient-enhanced damage models
TL;DR: In this article, two anisotropic stress-based gradient-enhanced damage models are proposed to address the issue of spurious damage growth typical of continuous standard gradientenhanced models.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of carbonation conditions on the physical and microstructural properties of recycled concrete coarse aggregates
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of carbonation conditions on the physical, mechanical, microstructural and durability properties of recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) are investigated, and the results suggest that regardless of the carbonation condition, carbonation of RCA under wet moisture condition or moist carbonation atmosphere results in no meaningful drop in water absorption or porosity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mesoscopic modelling of masonry using weak and strong discontinuities
TL;DR: In this article, a mesoscopic masonry model is presented in which joints are modelled by weak and strong discontinuities through the partition of unity property of finite element shape functions.
Journal ArticleDOI
A novel constrained large time increment method for modelling quasi-brittle failure
TL;DR: A novel LArge Time INcrement (LATIN) method is developed that is capable of tracing snap-backs in quasi-brittle materials and robust and automated choice of algorithmic variables is given.
Journal ArticleDOI
