This paper presents modified augmented Lagrangian block preconditioners for the mixed-dimensional coupling of three-dimensional solid bodies with embedded one-dimensional torsion-free Kirchhoff-Love beams using Lagrange multipliers for constraint enforcement. The finite element discretization of this mixed formulation leads to an indefinite saddle-point system. An augmented Lagrangian formulation is employed to regularize the linear system while maintaining exact enforcement of the coupling constraints. Starting from the corresponding ideal augmented Lagrangian block preconditioner, more practical block-triangular variants are derived in which the solid, beam, and Schur complement blocks can be treated independently. In addition, different variants of Schur complement approximations are introduced. Numerical experiments demonstrate robustness with respect to model parameters, near mesh-independent iteration counts, and favorable strong and weak scalability. These results indicate the suitability of the proposed approach for large-scale simulations of mixed-dimensional models in solid and structural mechanics, as demonstrated by an engineering example involving a composite sandwich plate.
