Zhang, H. (author), Jin, Zuquan (author), Jiang, Nengdong (author), Ge, Zhi (author), Schlangen, E. (author), Ling, Yifeng (author), Šavija, B. (author), Wang, Zheng (author)The classically lattice model assumes the local elements behave elastic brittle, neglecting the ductility of the mortar matrix. This leads to the simulated load⁃displacement response more brittle than the realistic. To solve the aforementioned issue, a piece⁃wise approach was introduced to describe the elastic⁃plastic constitutive relation of...journal article 2023

Wang, Haochuan (author), Feng, Pan (author), Geng, Zifan (author), Liu, Qi (author)The deterioration of organic coatings on concrete is closely linked to the efficiency in the protection process of reinforced structures. In the present work, polyurea resin and epoxy resin, which are widely used engineering coatings, were selected to measure and compare the performance under artificial aging. Fourier Transform infrared...conference paper 2021

Wang, J.Y. (author), Van Vlierberghe, S. (author), Dubruel, P. (author), Verstraete, W. (author), De Belie, N. (author)Self-healing concrete is regarded as a promising solution to reduce the high maintenance and repair cost of concrete infrastructure. Due to the limited autogenous healing capacity of concrete as such, additives are needed to enhance its self-healing properties. Among various strategies, microbial-based self-healing has gained increasing...conference paper 2013
