Bio-deterioration of concrete, which is very common in sewer system and waste water treatment plant, results in significant structure degradation. Normally, the process can be described by the two following parts: 1) Biochemistry reactions producing biogenic aggressive species in biofilms which are spread on the surface of concrete. As one of the most significant biogenic acid in sewer pipes, sulfuric acid (H2SO4) is produced by sulfur oxidizing bacteria (SOB). 2) Chemical reactions between biogenic aggressive species and cement hydration products which is responsible for concrete deterioration. A reactive transport model is proposed to simulate the bio-chemical and chemical deterioration processes of cementitious materials in contact with SOB and H2S or sulfuric acid solution. This model aims at solving simultaneously transport and biochemistry/chemistry in biofilms and cementitious materials by a global coupled approach. To provide an appropriate environment for SOB to grow, the surface neutralization of concrete (i.e., the absorption of H2S and aqueous H2S corrosion) is considered. To obtain the amount of biogenic H2SO4, the bio-oxidation of H2S by the activation of bacteria is simulated via a simplified model. To provide a suitable environment for SOB to grow, the abiotic pH reduction of concrete process is introduced. The production rate of H2SO4 is governed by the pH in the biofilms and the content of H2S in gas.It is assumed that all chemical processes are in thermodynamical equilibrium. The dissolution of portlandite (CH) and calcium silicate hydrates (C-S-H) and the precipitation of gypsum (C¯S H2) and calcium sulfide are described by mass action law and threshold of ion activity products. To take into account the continuous decrease of the Ca/Si ratio during the dissolution of C-S-H a generalization of the mass action law is applied. By simplifying the precipitation process of gypsum, a damage model is introduced to characterize the deterioration of concrete due to the swelling of gypsum. Thus, the porosity evolution and deterioration depth during deterioration process are taken into account. Only diffusion of aqueous species are considered. Different diffusion coefficients are employed for various ions and Nernst-Planck equation was implemented. The effect of the microstructure change during deterioration on transport properties is considered as well. For both biofilms and cementitious materials, the balance equations of total mass of each atom (Ca, Si, S, K, Cl) are used to couple transport equations and (bio-)chemical reactions. The model is implemented within a finite-volume code, Bil. Following the introduction of principle of the finite volume method, the coupling of the bio-chemistry process in biofilms and chemistry process in cementitious materials is illustrated. By this model, some experiments reported in literature, including chemical immersion tests (statical solution condition and flow solution condition) and microbiological simulation tests, are simulated. The numerical results and the experimental observations are compared and discussed. The influence of properties of cementitious materials (initial porosity, carbonated layer, etc.) and environmental factors (concentration of H2SO4, content of H2S, etc.) are investigated by this model as well. Furthermore, a long term predictionis conducted

La biodétérioration du béton, très courante dans les systèmes d'égouts et de traitement des eaux usées, entraîne une dégradation significative de la structure. Normalement, le processus peut être décrit par les deux étapes suivantes : 1) Des réactions biochimiques produisent des espèces agressives dans les biofilms qui tapissent la surface du béton. L'un des plus importants acides biogéniques que l'on trouve dans les canalisations d'égout est l'acide sulfurique (H2 SO4 ) que est produit par des bactéries sulfo-oxydante (BSO)à partir de l'hydrogène sulfuré (H2 S). 2) Les réactions chimiques entre les espèces agressives biogéniques et les produits d'hydratation du ciment sont responsables de la détérioration du béton. Un modèle de transport réactif est proposé afin de simuler les processus des détériorations chimique et biochimique des matériaux cimentaires en contact avec les BSO et le H2 S ou une solution d'acide sulfurique. L'objectif de ce modèle est de résoudre simultanément le transport et la biochimie / chimie dans les biofilms et les matériaux cimentaires par une approche globale couplée. Afin de fournir un environnement approprié pour la croissance des BSO, la neutralisation de la surface du béton (i.e., l'absorption de H2 S et la corrosion aqueuse de H2 SO4 ) est considérée. Pour obtenir la quantité de H2 SO4 biogénique, la bio-oxydation du H2 S par l'activation des bactéries est simulée par un modèle simplifié. Puis, pour alimenter un environnement convenable pour la croissance des BSO, la réduction abiotique du pH du béton est introduite. Le taux de production de H2 SO4 est régi par la valeur du pH dans les biofilms et la quantité de H2 S dans le gaz. On fait l'hypothèse que tous les processus chimiques sont en équilibre thermodynamique. La dissolution de la portlandite (CH) et du silicate de calcium hydratés (C-S-H), ainsi que la précipitation de gypse (CSH2) et du sulfure de calcium sont décrites par la loi d'action de masse et le seuil des produits d'activité ionique. Pour prendre en compte la décroissante continue du rapport Ca/Si lors de la dissolution de la C-S-H, une généralisation de la loi d'action de masse est appliquée. En simplifiant le processus de précipitation du gypse, un modèle d'endommagement est introduit pour caractériser la détérioration du béton due au gonflement du gypse. Ainsi, l'évolution de la porosité et de la profondeur de la détérioration pendant le processus de dégradation sont pris en compte. Seule la diffusion des espèces aqueuses est considérée. Différents coefficients de diffusion sont utilisés pour divers ions et l'équation de Nernst-Planck est implémentée. L'effet, pendant la détérioration, de la modification de la microstructure sur les propriétés de transport est aussi considéré. Pour les biofilms et les matériaux cimentaires, les équations d'équilibre de masse totale de chaque atome (Ca, Si, S, K, Cl) sont utilisées pour coupler les équations de transport et les réactions (bio) chimiques. Le modèle est implémenté dans un code volumes finis, Bil. Grâce à l'introduction de la méthode des volumes finis, on illustre le couplage du processus bio-chimie dans les biofilms et le processus de la chimiedes matériaux cimentaires. Par ce modèle, certaines expériences rapportées dans la littérature, dont des tests d'immersion chimiques (condition de la solution statique et condition de la solution d'écoulement) et des simulations microbiologiques, sont simulées. Les résultats numériques et les observations expérimentales sont comparés et discutés. L'influence des propriétés des matériaux cimentaires (porosité initiale, couche carbonatée, etc.) et les facteurs d'environnement (concentration de H2 SO4 quantité de H2 S etc) sont aussi étudiés par ce modèle. En outre, une prédiction à long terme est menée / Bio-deterioration of concrete, which is very common in sewer system and waste water treatment plant, results in significant structure degradation.
