Abstract

The coupled chemical–mechanical damage model developed by some of the authors was enhanced concerning both mechanical and environmental aspects. A more comprehensive representation of the mixed-tension domain was developed, together with the proposal of an innovative formulation to account for frost attack. The mechanical enhancement was validated by means of comparison with different experimental tests. Then the parameters of the proposed environmental model were calibrated by using a limited number of tests on concrete specimens under freeze–thaw-cycles. Afterwards it was used as predictive tool for simulating different series of tests and to evaluate the load-carrying capacity of a frost-damaged beam.
