Investigating specimen size and shape effects on compressive mechanical behaviors of recycled aggregate concrete using discrete element mesoscale modeling

Experimental study on axial tensile properties of basalt fibre reinforced recycled aggregate concrete

“…Chen et al [ 42 ] investigated the mechanical and stress-strain behaviour of basalt fiber reinforced rubberized recycled coarse aggregate concrete (BFRRC) and developed an constitutive model for BFRRC. Yu et al [ [43] , [44] , [45] ] investigated the effect of new mortar and old mortar on the mechanical properties of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) using the discrete element method (DEM) and proposed a multi-objective optimisation approach to determine the optimal mix design for RAC.…”
