Meso-scale homogenization of elastic and thermo-elastic properties of concrete is carried out using a semi-random sequential adsorption algorithm taking basis on properties of aggregate randomly distributed in a homogenized matrix (cement mortar). The aggregates are generated by the sequential reduction of a cuboid into a polyhedron with multiple f...

Managing the early-age thermal behavior of mass concrete structures like dams, dykes, bridge piers, thick raft foundations, etc., is the major concern during their construction. The heat of hydration (HOH) of the fresh concrete pour does not get easily dissipated to ambiance since concrete is predominantly a poor conductor of heat. Eventually, in t...
