Review on Modelling Techniques for Ultra-High Performance and Textile Reinforced Concrete A Comprehensive Comparative Analysis Case

Abstract

This review paper analyzes numerical modeling techniques used in Ultra High Performance Concrete (UHPC) and Textile Reinforced Concrete (TRC). The primary goal is to evaluate and compare the approaches employed for analyzing and designing structures made of UHPC and TRC. The analysis covers a range of techniques, including element analysis, discrete element modeling, computational fluid dynamics, and more. The paper also emphasizes the challenges and opportunities associated with modeling in predicting the behavior and performance of these concrete materials. The review incorporates references from peer-reviewed journals, conference papers, and technical reports to provide an understanding. It compares the strengths and limitations of numerical modeling techniques specific to UHPC and TRC. Additionally, it explores how factors like fiber reinforcement and particle packing impact numerical models for UHPC and TRC. Furthermore, the review highlights the significance of employing multi-scale modeling approaches to capture the behavior exhibited by these concrete materials. The conclusions of this review paper add to our knowledge of modeling methods for UHPC and TRC. It offers insights into the techniques and highlights potential areas for further research and development. Engineers and researchers will find it a valuable resource for analysis and design work involving these materials.
