This research project presents a proposal for a multiscale numerical analysis of concrete with recycled aggregates (RAC), which are obtained from the crushing of demolition concrete waste. The inedited proposed computational tool facilitates the evaluation of the thermomechanical behavior of the material, verifying the feasibility of its use for structural purposes. Better predictability …
Numerical analyses of steel reinforced concrete applying the mesh fragmentation and coupling techniques are proposed. The mesh fragmentation technique consists in the introduction of finite interface elements with high aspect ratio between the bulk elements of the mesh, enabling the simulation of crack formation process. In addition, the coupling technique enforces the displacement compat…
This research project presents a numerical analysis proposal for recycled aggregate concrete (RAC), whose recycled aggregates are obtained from the crushing of demolition concrete. The tool to be developed facilitates the mechanical behavior evaluation of the RAC, verifying the feasibility of its use for structural purposes. Considering that in Brazil the current use of the material is st…

The employment of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) presents a series of environmental and economic benefits to the construction industry. Therefore, one of the main concerns in the researches about this topic is to determine how the employment of recycled aggregate would affect the mechanical properties of concrete such as tensile and compressive strength as well as failure mechanisms at…
The demand for energy has increased significantly in recent years. Oil companies has sought new alternatives and under increasingly adverse conditions. The injection and extraction projects of fluids under high depths in reservoirs increase significantly the risks, since they change the rock properties. Thus, computer simulation allows analyzing the behavior of geological system assuming …
