Hi,
I am working on simulation/modelling of combined freeze/thaw process and mechanical static load in a concrete element, a small beam.

I think direct modelling is very difficult, and indirect way is consist of importing concrete strength/Elastic modulus as a function of cycles (N) at the end of cycles. Each cycle takes about 5 hours.

Is this a proper way or have flaws? or there is a better method?


Thanks a lot in anticipation.
