In this contribution, the model of the concrete deterioration due to the alkali silica reaction(ASR) at the microscale is set up. Based on a three‐dimensional micro computer‐tomography, a finite‐element mesh is constructed at the micrometer length scale and 3D coupled Chemo‐Themo‐Mechanics model in the hardened cement paste(HCP) and computational homogenization of damage are addressed in this contribution.
