Numerical Generation and Contact Analysis of Rough Surfaces in Concrete

In concrete structures, opened cracks contribute significantly to the transfer of shear and normal stresses through the contact forces occurring between fractured surfaces. Such contact forces are due to protruding asperities, engaged by interlocking and f ...

Coupling between cohesive element method and node‐to‐segment contact algorithm: Implementation and application

Guillaume Anciaux, Mohit Pundir

In materials, the evolution of crack surfaces is intimately linked with the self-contact occurring between them. The developed contact forces not only mitigate the effect of stress concentration at crack tip but also contribute sig- nificantly to the trans ...

Review of fundamental assumptions of the Two-Phase model for aggregate interlocking in cracked concrete using numerical methods and experimental evidence

Aurelio Muttoni, Guillaume Anciaux, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Mohit Pundir, Max Tirassa

Aggregate interlocking allows transferring shear and normal stresses through open cracks, and is considered to significantly contribute to the force transfer in cracked concrete. The complex phenomenon depends on the roughness of cracked surfaces, where ma ...
