Abstract
Modeling of concrete and reinforced concrete can be established on various levels of observation. Tensile, compressive and bond properties of concrete are discussed. Besides the material behaviour, the geometry of a structure as such plays also an important part when failure occurs. It is shown that distinction between positive and negative geometries is useful and justified. Scaling laws for both types of geometries yield essentially different asymptotic values for very small and very large structures.
