AB  - In this paper the finite element method is used to study non-prescribed crack propagation in concrete. Based on Hillerborg' s discrete approach, cracks are allowed to evolve along interfaces or joints, with initial zero thickness. These interfaces are located along interelement boundaries of the finite element mesh which is kept unchanged during the analysis. Cracks open according to mode I fracture. Two different models are used for crack evolution: i) in the first model no shear stresses are allowed in the fracture zones; ii) in the second one aggregate interlock is taken into account. The results of two numerical examples…
