The composited cementitious materials usually have superior performance; for example, using limestone powder (LP) and fly ash (FA) as the admixtures of cement in concrete/mortar is a popular way of improving the properties of concrete/mortar structures. In this work, we performed experimental tests to study the hydration process and pore distribution in mortar containing different ratios of LP and FA. Based on the results of mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP), a numerical mortar model with random pore is built. The model can reflect the synergistic hydration interaction and filling effect caused by the admixtures of LP and FA. After analyzing the hydration process, the coupled chemical–thermal–mechanical method was used to simulate the characteristics of mortar containing LP and FA. The coupling model can simulate the “hump-type” hydration acceleration stage of the mortar at early age, which is specifically caused by the LP, proved in the experimental test. Additionally, the special, “hump-type” stage is important to enhance the early strength of the mortar. At different levels of admixture content, the random pore model and coupled method can predict the evolution process of the mechanical properties well, at early age and for long-term strength. Both experimental and numerical results suggest that the mortar containing admixtures of the proper ratio of LP to FA have good mechanical properties, which can be applied to engineering structures.

3D steady heat conduction analysis considering heat source is conducted on the fundamental of the fast multipole method (FMM)-accelerated line integration boundary element method (LIBEM). Due to considering the heat source, domain integral is generated in the traditional heat conduction boundary integral equation (BIE), which will counteract the well-known merit of the BEM, namely, boundary-only discretization. To avoid volume discretization, the enhanced BEM, the LIBEM with dimension reduction property is introduced to transfer the domain integral into line integrals. Besides, owing to the unsatisfactory performance of the LIBEM when it comes to large-scale structures requiring massive computation, the FMM-accelerated LIBEM (FM-LIBEM) is proposed to improve the computation efficiency further. Assuming N and M are the numbers of nodes and integral lines, respectively, the FM-LIBEM can reduce the time complexity from O(NM) to about O(N+ M), and a full discussion and verification of the advantage are done based on numerical examples under heat conduction. (1) The LIBEM is applied to 3D heat conduction analysis with heat source. (2) The domain integrals can be transformed into boundary integrals with straight line integrals by the LIM. (3) A FM-LIBEM is proposed and can reduce the time complexity from O(NM) to O(N+ M). (4) The FM-LIBEM with high computational efficiency is exerted to solve 3D heat conduction analysis with heat source in massive computation successfully.
