Micro Abstract:
The heterogeneous mesostructure of concreted causes local stress concentrations. Stress dependent phenomena like damage and creep as well as their interactions are effected by those stress concentrations. Therefore a material model's macroscopic behavior will differ whether the mesoscale structure is considered or not. The differences between the mesoscale approach and an homogeneous approach will be presented. The results are discussed with focus on the true materials behavior.
