3D Mesoscale Finite Element Modelling of Concrete
Concrete is non-homogeneous and is composed of three main constituent phases from a mesoscopic viewpoint, namely aggregates, mortar matrix, and interface transition zone (ITZ). A mesoscale model with explicit representation of the three distinctive phases is needed for investigation into the damage processes underlying the macroscopic behaviour of the composite material. This paper presents a f...
متن کاملProcessing Digital Image for Measurement of Crack Dimensions in Concrete
The elements of the concrete structure are most frequently affected by cracking. Crack detection is essential to ensure safety and performance during its service life. Cracks do not have a regular shape, in order to achieve the exact dimensions of the crack; the general mathematical formulae are by no means applicable. The authors have proposed a new method which aims to measure the crack dimen...
متن کاملMesoscale Modelling of the Chloride Diffusion in Cracks and Cracked Concrete
In service, cracks or microcracks are usually present in concrete as a result of several mechanisms, for example the drying shrinkage, thermal gradients, freezing-thawing cycles, alkali-aggregate reaction and external loading. It has been realized that cracking can significantly accelerate the ingress of chlorides into concrete since it provides preferential flow channels and allow more chlorid...
متن کاملCrack Detection and Classification in Concrete Structure
This paper presents crack detection in concrete structure based on fuzzy logic. Safety inspection of concrete structures is very important since it is closely related with the structural health and reliability. Automated structural health monitoring system becomes necessity in recent years that encourages various researches to be going on in this area. Cheap availability of digital cameras make...
متن کاملCrack band theory for fracture of concrete
A fracture theory for a heterogeneous aggregate material which exhibits a gradual strainsoftening due to microcracking and contains aggregate pieces that are not necessarily small compared to struttural dimensions is developed. Only Mode I is considered. The fracture is modeled as a blunt smeared crack band, which is justified by the random nature of the microstructure. Simple triaxial stress-s...
