A meso-scale analysis is performed to determine the fracture process zone of concrete subjected to uniaxial tension. The meso-structure of concrete is idealised as stiff aggregates embedded in a soft matrix and separated by weak interfaces. The mechanical response of the matrix, the inclusions and t
The fatigue process is analyzed theoretically by studying the interaction between a macroscopic crack and continuously distributed microdamage near the crack-tips. A mode I loading case is studied, using a Dugdale crack model. The results show good agreement with Paris' law for fatigue crack propaga
