AB  - It is a common observation that existing stress concentrations like pores microcracks the cement paste-aggregate interfacial zone. The effect of these weaker links on softening behaviour was studied using a meso-level model. The weaker links have been generated randomly through matrix phase of the lattice model in order to simulate bonds around small particles but also larger pores. The other parameter affecting the softening behaviour is assumed to be stress-strain characteristic the elements. Delayed crack growth is modelled by stepwise reduction the Young's modulus of the lattice elements after tensile strength was reached. A double-edge-notched uniaxial tensile specimen has been…
