  abstract  = {In this thesis, a generic model for the post-failure behavior of concrete in tension is proposed. A mesoscale model of concrete representing the heterogeneous nature of concrete is formulated. The mesoscale model is composed of three phases: aggregate, mortar matrix, and the Interfacial Transition Zone between them. Both local and non-local formulations of the damage are implemented and the results are compared. Three homogenization schemes from the literature are employed to obtain the homogenized constitutive relationship for the macroscale model. Three groups of numerical examples are provided.},
