This paper presents a meso-macro numerical approach for the determination of macro- scopic diffusivity tensors in heterogeneous materials such as concrete. These macroscopic tensors account for important features of heterogeneous materials: (1) cracking process (evolution from dif- fuse cracks in the bulk to localized macro-crack), (2) tortuosity and connectivity of the crack, (3) induced-anisotropy and
The purpose of this work is to achieve a better understanding of the relationship between mechanical damage, pore size distribution and transport properties of cementitious materials. In the literature, analyses are usually restricted to intrinsic permeability of the material and the evolution of the apparent permeability with respect to the pressure gradient and to the
In this paper, an ongoing research project on the mechanisms of concrete deterioration due to Alkali-Silica Reaction (ASR) is presented, together with some preliminary results. The research program includes both experimental and numerical modelling work. The first part includes the development of two new experimental setups, one devoted to study the ASR expansion mechanisms at
