Compressive failure of concrete was studied in order to enable reliable modeling of this phenomena. Mechanical analysis and modeling of the structural behavior of softening concrete loaded in compression was concentrated upon. The three dimensional process of crack formation was analyzed as it is governed by the heterogeneity of concrete, the boundary conditions, and dimensions of concrete specimens. A link between fracture mechanics and the modeling of compressive softening of concrete was made. The behavior of normal strength concrete with relatively stiff and strong aggregates was considered.
