Dear all,

Our group has just published an artile on using experimentally-informed discrete models for calculating elastic and transport properties of cementitious materials. The article is published in the Journal of Materials in Civil Engineering (ASCE) as open access. It can be freely viewed at: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/334036123_Assessing_Hydrated_C…;

Dear all,

Our group at Delft University of Technology has recently published a study on Deformation and Fracture of 3D printed disordered lattice materials. In the study, we used experiments and numerical simulations to study these effects. The full paper can be accessed at: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/329146684_Deformation_and_frac…;

Dear all,

Our group has recently performed a study on using ductile concrete, so called SHCC, as a surface layer in reinforced concrete structures in order to control the crack width. This will enable engineers to reduce the amount of reinforcement needed for crack control by using an advanced concrete type only where it is needed, thereby limiting the costs.

Our group has recently published an article wherein we propose the use of X-ray computed tomography coupled with statistical nanoindentation for simulating the mechanical properties of quasi-brittle materials. The approach is used for simulating tensile properties of hardened cement paste.
