Description
Summary:In most analysis, it always assumes that the concrete as composite materials is homogeneous concrete which has same properties for its constituent. In this project the concrete itself is meso scale structure that considers the constituent material properties. This objective of the project is to develop efficiently algorithm and computer code that will simulate the random arrangement of the constituent materials of concrete in a test specimen and lattice element. The simulation started from the executing the data that input by user in program language C++ and will be graphically determined in the AutoCAD software which shows the location of particles. In executed the data, the author will use the Bloodshed DevC++ software to gather the data and determine the location of aggregate by giving the coordinate of the centre of particle and lattice network generated. The overlay of aggregate location on top of lattice element will determine the lattice element properties for each constituent of material.
