Peridynamics thermomechanical coupling simulation of damage in engineered cementitious composite-concrete bonding specimens under high temperature

•A thermo-mechanical coupled PD model for ECC-concrete bonding specimens.•Within the PD framework, models for ECC and concrete as well as their interface model are constructed.•Considering the degradation of mechanical and thermal properties under high temperature.•The damage of ECC-concrete bonding specimens under fire scenarios are analyzed.•The flow and heat transfer of thermos fluids are modeled using PDDO. The current application of Peridynamics (PD) models in addressing thermally induced failures within Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC) and concrete bonding specimens is relatively limited. This study introduces a novel semi-discrete PD model for ECC and a random heterogeneous PD model for concrete. These models are grounded in the microscopic constitutive relationships between ECC and concrete materials and incorporate the strain softening behavior of cement-based materials. The effectiveness of the interface model is evaluated through splitting tensile tests on ECC-concrete bonding specimens, employing a series model alongside PD surface effects for material interface correction. Considering the performance degradation of materials at elevated temperatures, a PD thermo-mechanical coupling model, which integrates PD thermal diffusion and motion equations, is proposed to analyze the failure of ECC and concrete under high thermal loads. The validity of both the thermo-mechanical coupling and concrete heterogeneity models is confirmed via thermal cracking tests on heated concrete columns subjected to drilling. Lastly, considering the dynamic response of fire, the Navier-Stokes equation are reformulated into a non-local form utilizing the Peridynamic differential operator (PDDO) to simulate fire environment. A thermo-fluid-mechanical coupling model is developed, and applied to analyze ECC and concrete bonding specimens’ failure behaviors under fire scenarios.
