Multi-scale modelling of concrete structures affected by alkali-silica reaction: Coupling the mesoscopic damage evolution and the macroscopic concrete deterioration

Jean-François Molinari, Emil Gallyamov, Mauro Corrado, Roozbeh Rezakhani, Aurelia Isabel Cuba Ramos

A finite-element approach based on the first-order FE2 homogenisation technique is formulated to analyse the alkali-silica reaction-induced damage in concrete structures, by linking the concrete degradation at the macro-scale to the reaction extent at the ...

Multi-Scale Modeling of the Alkali-Silica Reaction in Concrete

Aurelia Isabel Cuba Ramos

The alkali-silica reaction (ASR) is one of the most common causes of internal concrete degradation. This chemical reaction occurs between the amorphous silica contained inside the aggregates, and the alkalis of the cement pore solution. During the reaction ...

A new formulation for imposing Dirichlet boundary conditions on non-matching meshes

Jean-François Molinari, Alejandro Marcos Aragon, Aurelia Isabel Cuba Ramos

Generating matching meshes for problems with complex boundaries is often an intricate process, and the use of non-matching meshes appears as an appealing solution. Yet, enforcing boundary conditions on non-matching meshes is not a straightforward process, ...
