An approach combining numerical simulations and experimental techniques is developed to model complex microcracking in heterogeneous cementitious materials. The proposed numerical model allowed us to predict accurately in 3D the initiation and the propagation of microcracks at the scale of the actual microstructure of a real sample subjected to compression. Its predictions have been validated by a direct comparison with the actual crack network characterized by 3D imaging techniques. In a first part, the numerical simulation tools are developed and tested. More specifically, the phase-field method is applied to microcracking simulations in highly heterogeneous microstructures and its advantages for such simulations are discussed. Then, the ...
