Abstract
Some problems in civil engineering require the consideration of interactions between solids and fluids and/or between different physical phenomena, like thermal, hygral or chemical processes, for an appropriate description of the material behaviour and of the structural response. This chapter deals with the current developments of multi-phase models focusing on soils and concrete. The latter materials are characterized by a certain degree of permeability allowing liquid or gaseous phases to enter the pore space and to interact with the surrounding solid phase. Since the resulting interactions between the different phases may have a strong impact on the structural behaviour, they have to be accounted for appropriately in numerical models.
