Multiscale lattice Boltzmann-finite element modelling of chloride diffusivity in cementitious materials. Part II: Simulation results and validation

• A multiscale method is proposed to estimate chloride diffusivity in concrete. • The 3D structures of cement paste, ITZ, mortar and concrete are generated. • The effects of various factors are investigated in a quantitative manner. • The simulated results show a good agreement with experimental dat...

• A multiscale method is proposed to estimate chloride diffusivity in concrete. • The 3D structures of cement paste, ITZ, mortar and concrete are generated. • The effects of various factors are investigated in a quantitative manner. • The simulated results show a good agreement with experimental data. • The estimated chloride diffusivity is used as input for service life prediction.
