How do i model Calcium carbonate precipitate or (LIMESTONE)

[maisir666]

I have been trying to model a calcium carbonate model.i wanna ask whether it would be ok to use CONCRETE meterial model to model the calcium carbonate(scales)on a steel pipes inner wall. i want to know at which pressure the scales start to get crushed or removed. does anyone know how i can get to a solution using ANSYS. maybe using failure criteria. Any help files or tips that anyone can give me on this. THANK YOU.
