Abstract: A two‐dimensional finite element formulation for imbricate non‐local strain‐softening continuum is presented and numerically demonstrated. The only difference from the usual, local finite element codes is that certain ...

Abstract: Nonlocal continuum, in which the (macroscopic smoothed‐out) stress at a point is a function of a weighted average of (macroscopic smoothed‐out) strains in the vicinity of the point, are of interest for modeling of heterogeneous ...

Abstract: Performance of the engineering properties of paste manufactured with an eco-binder was evaluated. The eco-binder without cement, SCA, was made with slag (S) and fly ash (CA) that had been created by circulating fluidized ...

Abstract: This study mixed ground granulated blast-furnace slag (S) and circulating fluidized bed combustion (CFBC) fly ash (CA) without any portland cement or alkaline activator to produce an eco-binder, abbreviated as

Abstract: This paper uses the time-depth dependent chloride diffusion coefficient obtained from the analytical solution of the nonlinear chloride diffusion equation at nonsteady state to propose a new life prediction model of concrete ...

Abstract: In recent years, increased attention has been given to the identification of the origin of hydraulic cement clinker with trace element contents. Establishing a standard pattern of the trace element for each origin can ...

Abstract: In heterogeneous materials such as concretes or rocks, failure occurs by progressive distributed damage during which the material exhibits strain‐softening, i.e., a gradual decline of stress at increasing strain. It is ...

Abstract: Application of green cement to replace ordinary portland cement (OPC) for concrete structures has become an active research interest. Using pull-out tests, this study explored the bond behavior of embedded rebar confined ...

Abstract: The eco-binder with optimized fractions of ternary solid waste materials of ground granulated blast furnace slag (GBFS/slag), class F fly ash (FFA), and circulating fluidized bed combustion (CFBC) fly ash was successfully ...
