Abstract

Based on our latest work, a differential-scheme based micromechanical framework is presented to predict the properties of saturated concrete repaired by the electrochemical deposition method (EDM), which investigates the healing mechanism of the EDM at the micro-scale level theoretically and quantitatively. The three different states of the healing process, including no healing, partial healing and complete healing, are quantitatively investigated by modifying the differential-scheme and the generalized self-consistent method based on the multiphase micromechanical healing model which we presented recently. Modification procedures are utilized to rationalize the differential-scheme based estimations by considering the water effects (including further hydration and viscosity in pores) and the shapes of the pores in the concrete. Furthermore, our predictions are compared with those of the existing models and available experimental results, thus illustrating the feasibility and capability of the proposed differential-scheme based micromechanical framework. Meanwhile, it is found that the predictions in this extension correspond to the experimental data better than those of our recent work.
