Dear all,
A member of our research group at TU Delft has recently published a paper entitled "A 3D Lattice Modelling Study of Drying Shrinkage Damage in Concrete Repair Systems" in the Materials journal. The paper is published as open access and the full text can be found at: http://www.mdpi.com/1996-1944/9/7/575.
Mladena Lukovic of Delft University of Technology (Netherlands) has successfully defended her thesis dealing with mechanics and physics of concrete repair systems on 6th of January. Her thesis can be downloaded at http://repository.tudelft.nl/view/ir/uuid:28b07d9b-c704-47fa-9ba3-cd9fd… , and is of interest to everyone dealing with discrete modelling and micromechanical testing of cementitious and other quasi-brittle materials.

Dear all,
Our group has just published a paper on experimentally-informed multi-scalle modelling of nuclear graphite in the journal of Engineering Fracture Mechanics. It can be of interest to anyone working on quasi-brittle fracture and materials such as graphite, concrete, rock, shale, or similar. It can be downloaded at:http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0013794415007080
Regards,
Branko
The RILEM Multi-scale Modelling Course for Concrete (MMC2) provides the opportunity for participants to become familiar with modelling cementitious materials at four different levels of detail. Different ways of schematization and numerical approaches are considered to simulate the chemical, physical and mechanical behaviour of cementitious materials.
Hi all,
We've recently published a paper on
It deals with nanoindentation and numerical simulation of the interface zone in concrete repair systems.

Our paper titled "Lattice modeling of chloride diffusion in sound and cracked concrete" has been accepted for publication by Cement and Concrete Composites journal. It deals with numerical modeling of chloride transport coupled with fracture. Registered subscribers can download the paper at http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0958946513000899 .
Dear all,
Our paper titled "Cracking of the concrete cover due to reinforcement corrosion: A two-dimensional lattice model study"
has just been published in Construction and Building Materials. It deals with numerical modelling of cracking of the concrete cover as a consequence of reinforcement corrosion, based on the Delft lattice model framework.
