The construction sector is responsible for some of the highest energy and natural resources consumption. In this context, new materials solutions are created aimed at developing sustainable alternatives. While literature presents papers that evaluate mechanical durability properties concrete with glass waste powder account its environmental impact, no have executed evaluation considering retrof...

Prestress in amorphous solids bears the memory of their formation and plays a profound role mechanical properties. Here we develop set mathematical tools to investigate response prestressed systems, using stress rather than strain as fundamental variable. This theory allows microscopic prestress vary for same bond or contact configuration is particularly convenient nonconservative such granular...
