AB  - A lattice model is used for analyzing fracture in concrete CT speci- mens of differing scale. Six specimens are simulated at each of three scales for comparison with experimental results. The lattice model provides estimates of fracture process zone size and the distribution of damage and energy consumption within its limits. Peripheral mi- crocracking, though extensive, consumes very little energy relative to the mechanisms involved in actual material separation. Of par- ticular interest is the dependence of fracture energy on both strain gradient and specimen size. Size effects witnessed in the numerical concrete agree well with experimental trends.
