Numerical Simulation on Size Effect of Fracture Toughness of Concrete Based on Mesomechanics
The fracture performance of concrete is size-dependent within a certain size range. A four-phase composite material numerical model of mesofracture considering a mortar matrix, coarse aggregates, an interfacial transition zone (ITZ) at the meso level and the initial defects of concrete was establish...
