Mesoscale modelling of concrete tensile failure mechanism at high strain rates

At mesoscale, concrete may be regarded as a three-phase composite consisting of coarse aggregate, mortar matrix and interfacial transition zone (ITZ) between the aggregate and the mortar matrix. In the present paper, mesoscale model is adopted to analyze the dynamic tensile behaviour of concrete at...
