Abstract

In this work, we address the homogenization of cohesive-frictional strength properties of composite materials through the application of the Linear Comparison Composite (LCC) theory. The LCC methodology is implemented in a multiscale strength model relevant to geomaterials with heterogeneities associated with pore spaces and rigid-like grains. The proposed micromechanics solutions offer quantitative assessments of the effects of grain-scale properties and microstructure on the overall strength of the composite material
