Research Advances on Multi-Scale Modeling of Properties of Cement-Based Materials

Abstract:

Cement-based material is a complex multi-scale material which is difficult to comprehend. With the simulation model, the methods and examples of multi-scale modeling of structure and performance of cement-based materials are presented based on coupled cementitious composites and structural mechanics. This paper discuss on the properties of cement-based materials as shrinkage, elasticity, durability which are carried out by numerical methods such as Finite Element Method (FEM) and eXtended FEM(XFEM).
