“…Yet, both meshes occupy the same volume. Although high degree of refinement is required to represent the expansive stresses at the interface of steel and concrete, the proposed approach do not increase any degree of freedom for particle simulation (see, for example, works of [42,44]).…”

“…There are several techniques to incorporate reinforcement stiffness into the concrete matrix. The embedded technique presents satisfactory results in fiber reinforced composites [40][41][42][43]. A natural evolution of the fiber embedment is the particle embedment in concrete matrix [44].…”
In this paper, we propose an original and alternative FEM strategy to simulate the expansion and damage in cross sections of concrete elements due to non-uniform corrosion associated with chloride ingress. The strategy embed two-dimensional particle elements in two-dimensional matrix elements to simulate the stress distribution in the steel/concrete interface. This approach is different from the usual ones in which the steel rebar is replaced by forces and the contribution of the reinforcement stiffness is neglected. The reinforced concrete cross section is made by the composition of matrix and particle elements by means of nodal correspondence. This ensures that the number of degrees of freedom is not affected by the reinforcement, which makes the technique highly economical from the numerical point of view. A damage model contributes to the process of concrete degradation due to corrosion. The numerical applications ensure the accuracy of the developed model, showing its applicability in the analysis of non-uniform corrosion propagation in cross sections of reinforced concrete structures.

“…Reinforced composite materials, such as concrete, are easily modelled by the Positional FEM employing embedded techniques. With this technique, the structure stiffness is composed by the contribution of the domain (concrete matrix), fiber (rebars) and particle elements (coarse aggregates), and does not require nodal coincidence between discretizations, maintaining the overall number of degrees of freedom (Vanalli et al, 2008;Radtke et al, 2010;Radtke et al, 2011;Sampaio et al, 2013;Paccola et al, 2015;Paccola and Coda, 2016;Ramos and Carrazedo, 2020).…”
In this paper, we introduce a finite element mesoscale modeling of damaged concrete structures, based on nodal positions. The mesoscale modeling consists of particle and fiber finite elements embedded in matrix finite elements. While the matrix elements represent the cement matrix, particle elements are used to simulate the coarse aggregates and fiber elements are used for reinforcement rebars. The embedded theory is used to immerse the reinforcement (both particle and fiber elements) without increasing the total number of degrees of freedom. This strategy does not require nodal coincidence, allowing randomly distribute the coarse aggregates. The materials nonlinear behavior is considered by a scalar damage model for the cement matrix and coarse aggregates, and one-dimensional elastoplastic model is used for the steel rebars. Four examples are presented, with good correlation between numerical and experimental results. It is shown that structures simulated with particulate elements could endure higher loads for the same displacement, although the maximum force is obtained in models without inclusion of particle elements.
