Within the scope of this project, the mechanism of concrete damage under cyclic loading conditions will be invistigated at the meso-scale. At this scale, concrete will be considered as non-homogeneous three-phase composite material which consists of cement matrix (mortar), aggregates and interfacial transition zone (ITZ).
