The numerical simulation is based on a meso-mechanical model developed in the group of Mechanics of Materials UPC, which represents the largest aggregate particles explicitly, and represent cracks in a discrete manner by inserting zero-tickness interface elements in all potential crack trajectories a priori of the analysis. 2010-06-30T17:35:35Z
