Mesoscopic simulation of concrete drying shrinkage with hydration kinetics
Shrinkage-induced cracking significantly impacts the durability of mass concrete structures. Quantitatively evaluating drying shrinkage of concrete proves challenging due to the time-consuming experiments and overlooked microstructure changes during the hydration process. To address this concern, this study initially characterized the long-term hydration products and microstructure of low-heat Portland cement (LHPC) through microstructural experiments. Subsequently, a novel high-resolution mesoscale framework is developed to investigate the drying shrinkage with hydration kinetics. High-resolution models consist of realistic-shaped aggregates are validated by the aggregate morphology and gradation parameters of core sample from mass concrete. Concurrently, the quantitative effects of internal and external factors on LHPC drying shrinkage are explored. Results indicated that LHPC possesses a denser microstructure, lower porosity, higher carbonation resistance, and 20% lower drying shrinkage compared to moderate-heat Portland cement, suggesting promising applications. Furthermore, experimental and computational findings suggested that increasing aggregate volume, controlling aggregate morphology, and adjusting curing time and humidity could be employed to reduce and manage drying shrinkage, ensuring concrete structure durability.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Mechanical Sciences (IJMS) serves as a global platform for the publication and dissemination of original research that contributes to a deeper scientific understanding of the fundamental disciplines within mechanical, civil, and material engineering.
The primary focus of IJMS is to showcase innovative and ground-breaking work that utilizes analytical and computational modeling techniques, such as Finite Element Method (FEM), Boundary Element Method (BEM), and mesh-free methods, among others. These modeling methods are applied to diverse fields including rigid-body mechanics (e.g., dynamics, vibration, stability), structural mechanics, metal forming, advanced materials (e.g., metals, composites, cellular, smart) behavior and applications, impact mechanics, strain localization, and other nonlinear effects (e.g., large deflections, plasticity, fracture).
Additionally, IJMS covers the realms of fluid mechanics (both external and internal flows), tribology, thermodynamics, and materials processing. These subjects collectively form the core of the journal's content.
In summary, IJMS provides a prestigious platform for researchers to present their original contributions, shedding light on analytical and computational modeling methods in various areas of mechanical engineering, as well as exploring the behavior and application of advanced materials, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, and materials processing.
