## Research highlights βΊ Cohesive zone elements allow to model fatigue crack initiation and growth. βΊ An algorithm reducing extensively the simulation time with little loss of accuracy was developed. βΊ The variability inherent in the fatigue life was assessed using a random field model. βΊ Both crac
In this paper, the extended finite element method (XFEM) is used for a discrete crack simulation of concrete using an adaptive crack growth algorithm. Different criteria for predicting the direction of the extension of a cohesive crack are investigated in the context of the XFEM. The robustness of t
