Meso-scale approach to modeling concrete subjected to thermo-mechanical loading
Peter Grassl, Chris J. Pearce
Concrete subjected to combined compressive stresses and temperature loading exhibits compressive strains, which are considerably greater than for concrete subjected to compressive…
Influence of aggregate size and fraction on shrinkage induced micro-cracking of mortar and concrete
Peter Grassl, Hong S. Wong, Nick R. Buenfeld
In this paper, the influence of aggregate size and volume fraction on shrinkage induced micro-cracking and permeability of concrete and mortar was investigated. Nonlinear finite el…
Analysis of the microbond test using nonlinear fracture mechanics
Jan Novak, Chris J. Pearce, Peter Grassl +2
Microbond tests composed of single fibre and matrix droplet are often used to determine the properties of fibre reinforced composites. Interfacial shear strength is quantified by t…
Meso-scale approach to modelling the fracture process zone of concrete subjected to uniaxial tension
Peter Grassl, Milan Jirasek
A meso-scale analysis is performed to determine the fracture process zone of concrete subjected to uniaxial tension. The meso-structure of concrete is idealised as stiff aggregates…
On a damage-plasticity approach to model concrete failure
Peter Grassl
A damage-plasticity constitutive model for the description of fracture in plain concrete is presented. Two approaches, the local model comprising the adjustment of the softening mo…
