Mesoscopic Finite Element Method of the Effective Thermal Conductivity of Concrete with Arbitrary Gradation

The effective thermal conductivity (ETC) of concrete is the most important parameter in determining the temperature field and thermal stresses. A 2D random polygonal aggregate model and its modified model considering porosity were established in this paper in order to partially replace the experimen...
