Abstract: The lattice discrete particle model (LDPM) is a mesoscale model for heterogeneous materials. Developed for concrete, it simulates material mesostructure by modeling coarse aggregate particles and their surrounding mortar ...

Abstract: In Part I of this two-part study, a theory is provided for the extension of the lattice discrete particle model (LDPM) to include fiber reinforcing capability. The resulting model, LDPM-F, is calibrated and validated in ...
