Effects of the particle morphology and volume fraction of coarse aggregate on the mechanical properties of concrete

The morphology and volume fraction of coarse aggregate particles significantly influence the mechanical characteristics of concrete. This paper presents the development of a numerical model for pebble concrete by combining experiments with the discrete element method. The mesoscopic parameters betwe...
