Abstract | The properties of concrete are degraded during service by coupled physical and chemical processes that operate at several length scales, and the prediction of its performance in engineering structures requires multi-physics, multi-scale modelling approaches. The aim of this paper is to provide a comprehensive overview of the current modelling techniques for analysis of concrete deterioration. The paper covers the fundamentals of modelling at several length scales, as well as the bridging/transition between scales, and the numerical methods based on continuum and discrete formulations appropriate to different scales. Considered are the key chemical and physical deterioration processes of carbonation, chloride ingress, freeze–thaw damage, and abrasion. The paper |
