Abstract

In this paper, θ-EFG(theθfamily of methods –Element Free Galerkin) method is developed and adopted for the simulation of chloride diffusion in concrete. Diffusion of chloride ions is generally assumed to follow the Fick’s second law and its solving process usually adopts finite element and finite difference method. θ-EFG is a meshless method which uses a moving least square approximation in space domain, then uses the θ family of methods in time domain. Some discussions and One dimensional examples are carried out. The computational results compared with the analytical solution are shown that the relative error norm that time=20years, chloride content of different depth and depth =45 mm, chloride content are about 0.5% and 1% respectively.
