Abstract

The mechanical response of concrete is complex and as other composite materials, multiscale modelling has the potential for modeling its macroscopic behavior. This paper presents an upscaling methodology for the modelling of the concrete mechanical properties. The suggested formulation starts from a known chemical and mechanical set of parameters of the cement paste, which are used to evaluate the mechanical properties of the LDPM (Lattice Discrete Particle Model) concrete mechanical parameters. The parameters are divided to groups, which are related to different damage modes such as: pore collapse and material compaction, cohesive behavior, and shear behavior. For each group of parameters, a set of microscopic simulations are performed to complete the up-scaling methodology.
