Abstract Building materials such as concrete cement or concrete asphalt are highly heterogeneous composite materials that are often addressed as homogeneous media when a sufficiently large Representative Elementary Volume (REV) definition of the compound is accepted. Adopting a homogenous approach in the material behaviour modeling typically fails to elucidate the interaction between the various material phases. Recently, a meso-scale approach has emerged, enabling the study of composite/conglomerate materials within the REV volume, thereby making the principal material components explicit. At this scale, local interactions between inclusions and matrix are captured, revealing the presence of complex triaxial… More >
