On the effect of ITZ thickness in meso-scale models of concrete (2020, background): “Therefore, constructing synthetic meso-structures with statistically equivalent size distribution of meso-structural features has been widely employed in recent years [6,43,46,55].”
Effect of aggregate structure on fracture process in concrete using 2D lattice model (2007, result): “The obtained results of crack patterns and stress–strain curves for a three–phase concrete material during uniaxial tension are qualitatively in agreement with experimental ones for concrete, and compare quite well with results published in [28, 45, 46].”
Mesoscale models for concrete: homogenisation and damage behaviour (2006, methodology): “For achieving very high aggregate volume fraction, van Mier and van Vliet [18] used an alternative algorithm called the random particle drop method for arrangement of aggregate particles.”
