Abstract :
[en] This chapter presents evidence of the impact of the Brazil Nut Effect on concrete’s particulate structure on meso-level (aggregate) as well as on micro-level (cement paste). Brazil nut effect is compared to more commonly recognized features like the wall effect. The information is mostly obtained on virtual concrete produced by discrete element modelling systems. The requirements imposed on such systems are indicated and compared to sequential random addition systems that are still common in concrete technology. In the present case use is therefore made of so called dynamic solutions of physical concurrent algorithm-based modeling systems. Some consequences of BNE for structure and properties are discussed.
