Extended Microprestress-Solidification Theory (XMPS) for Long-Term Creep and Diffusion Size Effect in Concrete at Variable Environment
Saeed Rahimi-Aghdam, Zdenek P. Bazant, Gianluca Cusatis
The solidification theory has been accepted as a thermodynamically sound way to describe the creep reduction due to deposition of hydrated material in the pores of concrete. The co…
Homogenization Coarse Graining (HCG) of the Lattice Discrete Particle Model (LDPM) for the Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Structures
Erol Lale, Roozbeh Rezakhani, Mohammed Alnaggar +1
In this study, a coarse-graining framework for discrete models is formulated on the basis of multiscale homogenization. The discrete model considered in this paper is the Lattice D…
Multiphysics Lattice Discrete Particle Modeling (M-LDPM) for the Simulation of Shale Fracture Permeability
Weixin Li, Xinwei Zhou, J. William Carey +2
A three-dimensional Multiphysics Lattice Discrete Particle Model (M-LDPM) framework is formulated to investigate the fracture permeability behavior of shale. The framework features…
C-S-H gel densification: the impact of the nanoscale on self desiccation and sorption isotherms
Enrico Masoero, Gianluca Cusatis, Giovanni Di Luzio
The relationship between humidity and water content in a hydrating cement paste is largely controlled by the nanostructure of the C-S-H gel. Current hydration models do not describ…
