While this damage variable could be a fourth-order tensor, a second-order tensor is chosen as a pertinent approximation, simplifying computations of the model response.

Continuum Damage Mechanics simulations are performed for given initial damage tensors. The effect of initial damage on the tensile response of concrete is then quantified on the peak stress and various post-peak quantities of interest, such as damage invariants (hydrostatic and von Mises equivalent damage) and relative distance to isotropy of the effective compliance tensor. How the anisotropy and orientation of the principal basis of the initial damage tensor affect the mechanical response is analyzed and discussed, based on the two-step parameterization.

However, its mechanical and fracture behavior is difficult to characterize due to the heterogeneity and brittle crushing of porous lightweight aggregates. This study examines the mechanical response and fracture behavior of ultra-high-performance concrete with foam glass aggregates (UHPC–FGAs) as a representative LWAC system by combining targeted experiments with mesostructure-resolved numerical simulations. Experimental investigations included single-particle crushing tests on FGAs, uniaxial compression tests on the UHPC matrix, and three-point bending (TPB) tests on the UHPC matrix. These data informed parameter identification for the Polymaterial Lattice Discrete Particle Model. Aggregate-related parameters were calibrated under joint constraints to reproduce both FGA crushing behavior and the compressive response of UHPC–FGA composites. Realistic mesostructures were generated from voxel-based microstructures produced by the Virtual Cement and Concrete Testing Laboratory and mapped into the numerical model. TPB simulations of UHPC–FGA composites were then performed to quantify fracture energy. Results show that cracking initiates within porous FGAs and propagates transgranularly into the UHPC matrix, rather than along interfaces as in normal-weight concrete. The fracture energy of UHPC–FGAs is approximately 50% lower than that of plain UHPC, reflecting limited crack deflection and bridging.

In this study, an existing hypoplastic model that accounts for intergranular strain and semi-fluidized state is adopted as a benchmark. The model is further modified and implemented in finite element code to investigate the spatial heterogeneity characteristic of bio-cemented soils, arising from nonuniform bacterial activity and localized calcite precipitation.

The model's performance is validated against a series of monotonic and cyclic triaxial tests on both untreated and bio-cemented sand samples. Key capabilities of the model include its ability to accurately capture the enhancement of strength and stiffness due to cementation, the evolution of pore pressure, the manifestation of cyclic mobility, and the increased resistance to liquefaction. To account for spatial variability in bio-cementation, a boundary value finite element model was developed in PLAXIS using cement content measurements obtained at nine locations within the specimen.

Conventional deterministic models fail to adequately capture these effects. This study proposes a novel random field model to analyze the longitudinal vibration of pipe piles in bidirectionally heterogeneous soil. The model integrates the radial and vertical variability of the external soil with the vertical variability and mass inertial effects of the soil plug. Parametric analysis reveals that the degree of the soil variability in shear wave velocity has a dual impact on the vibration characteristics. For short piles, this variability acts as detrimental interference, increasing the failure probability of pile length detection. Conversely, the effect differs for long piles, which are often characterized by weak signals. For these piles, a moderate degree of soil variability can actually enhance the pile-toe reflection, serving as a “natural signal enhancer” and significantly reducing the failure probability. Furthermore, a strong correlation was identified between construction disturbance and soil variability. The randomness of the external soil is the dominant factor determining failure modes, rather than the randomness of the soil plug.
