The interfacial transition zones (ITZs) are supposed to promote fluid transport through concrete. As a consequence, one would expect an increase in permeability with an increasing aggregate fraction. This has been shown in some experiments, however, the opposite effect is observe ...
In this study, a numerical approach developed in our group is used to assess the permeability of partially saturated cement paste based on a discrete element modelling (DEM) technique. The relationship between saturation degree and permeability is found to be in good agreement wi ...
Although an earlier developed numerical methodology for permeability estimation of cement pastes can provide satisfactory results in comparison with experiments, it would be of engineering interest to find a simpler way to perform the same task. This method referred to by “the sh ...
A quick approach to estimate water permeability of virtual cement paste is outlined in this paper. Although the computational models developed by the authors are able to provide satisfactory results in comparison with experimental data, it is still interesting and meaningful to f ...
