A micromechanical four-phase model to predict the compressive failure surface of cement concrete

In this work, a micromechanical model is used in order to predict the failure surface of cement concrete subject to multi-axial compression. In the adopted model, the concrete material is schematised as a composite with the following constituents: coarse aggregate (gravel), fine aggregate (sand) a...
