That includes: hydro-thermal fracture, thermal collapse, chemical mass removal or accretion (dissolution or precipitation), chemical shrinkage/swelling, drying shrinkage, capillary force evolution during pore water phase change. The properties affected are: strength in all its manifestation, compressibility, permeability, thermal conductivity, to mention just a few. The physical processes involved are either natural or engineered. Their phenomenology is per se a conundrum, as often they constitute a series of parallel or sequential processes. A review of several phenomena leading to geomaterial degradation, and methodology is presented to deal with multi-physical couplings in constitutive modeling. In plasticity, the central constitutive function is a hardening rule. Also in this case, phenomenological observations indicate a chemo-mechanical, two-way coupling. Other degradation phenomena discussed include drying—cracking, and or the role of suction induced hardening in unsaturated materials. %G English %2 https://hal.umontpellier.fr/hal-01667848/document %2 https://hal.umontpellier.fr/hal-01667848/file/Art_ElYoussoufi_al_Modeling_Physico-chemical_Degradation_2017.pdf %L hal-01667848 %U https://hal.umontpellier.fr/hal-01667848 %~ CNRS %~ LMGC %~ GENIECIVIL %~ MIPS %~ UNIV-MONTPELLIER %~ UM-2015-2021
