Abstract: Splitting tensile experiments of concrete specimens with different strain rates are conducted by using the Split-Hopkinson pressure bar to verify a previously developed mesoscale dynamic particle element model. In addition, ...

Abstract: Taking the heterogeneity character of concrete into account, this paper presents an equivalent probabilistic model for failure study of concrete in which the heterogeneity of concrete is considered by assuming that the ...

Abstract: Service life of concrete structures depends on the structure design, construction management, and the durability of concrete in aggressive exposure conditions. The old Fengman Dam is an 80-year-old gravity dam, and due to ...
