Stiffness of a recycled composite aggregate [PDF]
Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering, 2018 Abstract Recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) is a promising substitute for natural aggregates and the reuse of this demolished material would benefit the construction projects both economically and environmentally. A difficulty associated with the prediction of the behavior of RCA is because of its multi-composition which is linked to the grain size in

Numerical Simulation of Concrete Mix Structure and Detection of its Elastic Stiffness [PDF]
Computational Engineering and Physical Modeling, 2018 Concrete mix stiffness (CM) primarily relies on its ingredients, which mainly consists of stone aggregate and mortar. To analyse the role of the components of CM on its properties a numerical simulation of CM structure is conducted.
