Effect of aggregate structure on fracture process in concrete using 2D lattice model (2007, methodology): “The obtained outcomes from numerical experiments for uniaxial tension are qualitatively in agreement with numerical solutions given in [28, 45, 46].”
Monte Carlo Simulations of Mesoscale Fracture of Concrete with Random Aggregates and Pores: a Size Effect Study (2015, unknown): “This is consistent with experimental observations [9,13].”
Quantification of stochastically stable representative volumes for random heterogeneous materials (2006, background): “Van Mier [28,29] and van Vliet [30], in their experiments with concrete, for example, suggest the size of the RVE is approximately equal to at least 3–5 times or 7–8 times the largest inclusion particle size.”
A new open-source software developed for numerical simulations using discrete modeling methods (2008, result): “The obtained outcome of the size effect for uniaxial tension is qualitatively in agreement with experiments performed by van Vliet [25].”
