To investigate the impact of freeze–thaw damage on the mechanical properties of concrete, this study utilized Python in combination with ABAQUS 2016 to generate a two-dimensional meso-scale model of concrete. Uniaxial compression tests were conducted on the concrete after freeze–thaw cycles to study the evolution of its mechanical properties. Using “relative compressive strength” as a variable, the relationships between this variable and the parameters of the freeze–thaw damage model were determined, leading to the establishment of the freeze–thaw damage model and the simulation of compressive tests on concrete after freeze–thaw cycles. This study also explored the changes in the mechanical properties of concrete with variations in ITZ parameters and coarse aggregate content. The conclusions drawn are as follows: A comparison with experimental data showed that the model ensures that the relative error of each mechanical property parameter does not exceed 7%, verifying the model’s rationality. Increasing the ratio of ITZ parameters improved the mechanical properties of the ITZ, enhancing the overall mechanical performance, but had almost no effect on the elastic modulus. Compared to ratios of 0.7 and 0.8, concrete with a ratio of 0.9 showed slower rates of decrease in compressive strength and elastic modulus and slower rates of increase in peak compressive strain after freeze–thaw cycles. The increase in coarse aggregate content had a similar effect on the strength and freeze–thaw resistance of concrete as the ratio of ITZ parameters. Concrete with a coarse aggregate content of 60% exhibited slower rates of change in mechanical properties after freeze–thaw cycles. |
