A micromechanical four-phase model to predict the compressive failure surface of cement concrete [PDF]
Fracture and Structural Integrity, 2014 In this work, a micromechanical model is used in order to predict the failure surface of cement concrete subject to multi-axial compression. In the adopted model, the concrete material is schematised as a composite with the following constituents: coarse

Multiscale poromechanics of wet cement paste [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2019 Significance Capillary effects in cement paste are associated with multiple degradation mechanisms. Using a framework, we investigated the role of capillary forces in cement paste under partial saturation from the nanograins level to the mesoscale. We show that the largest capillary forces concentrate at the boundary between gel pores
