Crushed or intact?
What are you trying to use phi of concrete for? Provide some additional information, and you may get a usable response.

When plastic (fluid) the material has effectively no strength and a unit weight considerably higher than water. Once it cures, it should have a strength considerably higher than soil.
In the cured state I would model it as a very hard soil with undrained and drained strengths equal to 45 degrees and cohesion based on the design strength of the mix. The cured material would exert no lateral load, only vertical.
In the plastic state i would model it as water with a unit weight equal to the weight of the plastic material.
