Simulation of Concrete Meso-Structure Within FEM/CDM Framework, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Vafai, Abolhassan (Supervisor) ; Shahbeyk, Sharif (Supervisor)
Abstract
Various theoretical studies have been developed to obtain a deeper understanding of concrete behavior lead to the concrete constitutive models in the macroscale. In these models, however, the microstructure of the concrete and its effects on the concrete behavior has not been taken into account.Several numerical approaches have been incorporated to determine the effects of concrete mesostructure on the overall behavior of concrete. They may be classified at least in three main groups. In the first group, Continuum finite element methods (FEM) equipped with interface elements is incorporated. Second group is to incorporate more efficient elements, such as lattice or truss elements, instead of...
