    A coupled chemo-thermo-hygro-mechanical model of concrete at high temperature and failure analysis

    A hierarchical mathematical model for analyses of coupled chemo-thermo-hygro-mechanical behaviour in concretes at high temperature is presented. The concretes are modelled as unsaturated deforming reactive porous media filled with two immiscible pore fluids, i.e. the gas mixture and the liquid mixture, in immiscible-miscible levels. The thermo-induced desalination process is particularly integrated into the model. The chemical effects of both the desalination and the dehydration processes on the material damage and the degradation of the material strength are taken into account. The mathematical model consists of a set of coupled, partial differential equations governing the mass balance of the dry air, the mass balance of the water species, the mass balance of the matrix components dissolved in the liquid phases, the enthalpy (energy) balance and momentum balance of the whole medium mixture. The governing equations, the state equations for the model and the constitutive laws used in the model are given. A mixed weak form for the finite element solution procedure is formulated for the numerical simulation of chemo-thermo-hygromechanical behaviours. Special considerations are given to spatial discretization of hyperbolic equation with non-self-adjoint operator nature. Numerical results demonstrate the performance and the effectiveness of the proposed model and its numerical procedure in reproducing coupled chemo-thermohygro-mechanical behaviour in concretes subjected to fire and thermal radiation.

    V6.2 Release Notes <ul> <li>Previous versions of this model had issues when using the state-space nodal (SSN) solver OLTC model within the SSN library.</li> <li>This update uses a new version of the OLTC model, which makes it possible to simulate the OLTC without an explicit representation of taps via switches (which considerably increases computation requirements).</li> <li>The model does not require to generate S-functions any longer. Model only needs to be built in RT-Lab to be executed.</li> </ul> Requirements and Dependencies <ul> <li>RT-Lab v11.3.1.34</li> <li>ARTEMiS v7.3.0.1251</li> <li>MATLAB 2015aSP1</li> </ul> Authors <ul> <li>Hossein Hooshyar, RPI, October 2018.</li> </ul&gt

    (A) RT-PCR analysis of CLDN-3, Bsep, AFP, G6P, A1AT, NR1I3 and CYP3A4 gene expression in cells from different treatment groups, including Hepatocytes (2D), Hepatocytes (3D), Hepatocytes-MSCs (2D), and Hepatocytes-MSCs (3D) groups. -The expression of the CLDN-3 (B), Bsep (C), AFP (D), G6P (E), A1AT (F), NR1I3 (G) and CYP3A4 (H) genes was normalized with the internal control gene GAPDH. Data are presented as the mean ± S.D., n = 4, with significance assessed by ANOVA. **p< 0.001 and *p< 0.01.</p
