Abstract: This paper focuses on the simulation of irregular stone masonry by the lattice discrete particle model (LDPM), which simulates the fracture and failure behavior of quasi-brittle heterogeneous materials by modeling the ...

Abstract: Concrete admixtures are constantly used in construction projects, and these admixtures can be used to increase/decrease the setting time, improve workability, enhance frost and sulfate resistance, and to help control ...

Abstract: Recycling of waste tire rubber is a significant environmental problem due to the huge number of waste tires needing disposal. A promising alternative to methodologies usually used for this aim is the use of tire rubber in ...
