Micromechanical Multiscale Modeling of ITZ-Driven Failure of Recycled Concrete: Effects of Composition and Maturity on the Material Strength
Recycled concrete, i.e., concrete which contains aggregates that are obtained from crushing waste concrete, typically exhibits a smaller strength than conventional concretes. We herein decipher the origin and quantify the extent of the strength reduction by means of multiscale micromechanics-based m...
