Micromechanical modelling of damage induced by delayedettringite formation in concrete

A multi-scale poromechanical model of damage induced by Delayed Ettringite Formation (DEF) as a consequence of progression of micro-cracks at the fine aggregate scale is developed. The aim is to link the DEF-induced expansion at both the microscopic and macroscopic scales to the loss of stiffness of...
