Abstract

Based on a micro-structural finite-element model using computer-tomography scans at micro meter length-scale, damage due to frost within hardened cement paste (HCP) is evaluated. In order to establish microscopic constitutive equations comparison with experimental data at macro-level are performed together with parameter identification. Subsequently, damage due to frost is simulated numerically: the water filled pores of HCP increase in volume during a freezing process which yields an inelastic material behavior. Numerical simulations at micro-structural level are performed for different moistures and temperatures. Upscaling then leads to an effective correlation between moisture, temperature and the inelastic material behaviour. Finally, thermomechanically coupling is introduced on the macro-scale and an effective constitutive equation for HCP is developed using the abovementioned temperature-moisture-damage correlation.
