Abstract: The influence of cement fineness on early-age properties of cement-based materials is investigated using a variety of experimental techniques. Properties that are critical to the early-age performance of these materials ...

Abstract: This paper simulates fracture in notched mortar beams under three-point bending using an extended finite-element method (XFEM) and peridynamics. A three-phase microstructure (i.e., cement paste, aggregates, and ...
