Abstract
In this paper, a meso-scale analysis is performed (1) to study the size effect on the nominal stress at failure and, (2) to quantify the evolution of the fracture process zone (FPZ) in the context of the tensile splitting test. The meso-structure is based on a two-phase 3D representation of heterogeneous materials, such as concrete, where stiff aggregates are embedded into a mortar matrix. In order to take into account these heterogeneities...
