Abstract
This work provides a micromechanical framework for modeling water-induced failure mechanisms of concrete in an experimental-virtual lab. The complicated geometry and content of concrete at a lower scale can be detected by a computed tomography (micro-CT) scan. Based on the experimental observations, we developed a constitutive model for the coupled problem of fluid-saturated heterogeneous porous media at fracture. The poro-plasticity model is additively decomposed into reversible-elastic and irreversible-plastic parts. The governing formulations are based on an energetic response function and a dissipated work due to plasticity (Drucker-Prager model), fluid transport (Darcy's law) and fracture (phase-field method) for the multiphysics problem. The model performance is demonstrated through some representative examples in 2D, representing an idealized microstructure of concrete.
