Effect of Micro-Particle Additions on Frictional Energy Dissipation and Strength of Concrete

This thesis is divided in two parts. The first part is devoted to the micro-macro modeling of the behavior of concrete under cyclic loading. Correlations between microscopic (frictional sliding of mesocracks) and macroscopic (energy dissipation) properties are investigated. The second part focuses o...
