Faculty Civil Engineering and Geosciences Department Structural Engineering Date 2009-09-02 Abstract In this contribution, we present the mechanical behaviour of the hardening cement paste explicitly taking into account its complex microstructure. The microstructure of the cement paste is obtained via numerical cement hydration simulation. A simple nonlocal isotropic damage model is adopted for different constituents of the cement paste. The information computed at this microscale is transfered to the matrix phase of the matrix-aggregate-ITZ mesoscale model through a domain decomposition method.
