The paper presents results of two-and three-dimensional meso-scale simulations of fracture in notched concrete beams subjected to three-point bending test. Concrete was assumed as a 3-phase material composed of aggregate grains placed in the cement matrix with Interfacial Transitional Zones (ITZs) between then. In 2D simulations macro-voids were also taken into account. The particle distribution was taken from real concrete beams on the basis of X-ray mu CT images. The effect of different properties of ITZs and cement matrix was investigated in parametric studies. A satisfactory agreement in terms of the vertical force versus crack mouth opening displacement evolution and crack geometry was achieved between analyses and laboratory tests.
