Predicting the time-dependent responses of concrete and concrete structures remains a challenging task in the construction sector. While experimental investigation serves as an essential cornerstone for concrete research, by itself it only offers limited insights into the complex time-dependent behaviour of concrete. The complexity is due to the multiple coupled hygro-thermo-chemo-mechanical processes. In the last two decades MARS, a special purpose computational software developed by ES3, has shown the capability of turning such insights accessible. This paper aims to provide a state-of-theart of the MARS capabilities in concrete modelling, enriched with a discussion of some meaningful examples. The multiphysics framework today available in MARS already allows to simulate a wide range of complex phenomena, featuring the long-term performance of ordinary and advanced cementitious materials.
