Meso-scale finite element modeling of non-homogeneous three-phase concrete

Assumptionof material homogeneity is not realistic in study of the mechanical behavior of concrete. When a concrete specimen under loading condition starts to crack, it changes from a continuous state into a discrete one. Under such circumstances, application of classical finite element methods is n...
