In meso-scopic level, concrete consists of mortar and aggregate. Rigid Body Spring Method is a useful analytical method to simulate discrete behavior like fracture. This study presents constitutive models for mortar and mortar-aggregate interface in meso level and simulates fracture process of mortar and simplified concrete model. To formulate arbitrary crack path, the Voronoi diagram is introduced. The Concrete is a composite material consisting of aggregate and mortar in meso-scopic level. Evaluation of the fracture process in this level is useful to quantify concrete properties in macro level in which the concrete is assumed homogeneous. It is considered, furthermore, that influences of environmental action on the mechanical characteristics of concrete can be clarified more precisely using the analytical approach in meso-scopic level. Many experimental studies on the fracture mechanism in meso level have been conducted. However almost no numerical analysis of the fracture process in meso level has been carried out. In this study, numerical simulation of compression and tension tests of mortar and compression tests of simplified aggregate-mortar concrete model are conducted by Rigid Body Spring Method (RBSM). This analytical method is useful to simulate the fracture process of concrete. Macro-scopic constitutive models of RC structures for RBSM have been developed by Saito and Hikosaka(1), however no constitutive model in meso level. In this study, constitutive models for mortar, aggregate and interface are presented in meso level. The fracture process and behavior of each component, aggregate, mortar and interface, are examined and the macroscopic stress-strain curves are compared with experimental results.
