Internal swelling reaction (ISR) as Alkali-Silica reaction (ASR) or Delayed Ettringite Formation (DEF) are harmful concrete disorders. Such reaction leads to the production of new swelling phases in the concrete porosity. They, can cause important degradation and could lead to the decrease of structure performances. Hence, the evaluation of the behaviour of such damaged structures is a real need for the structure's owners, which can be answered by numerical modelling. In order to obtain realistic crack pattern, meshing separately concrete and rebars is the usual way to perform a nonlinear finite element analysis. However, for massive structures, and for structures with important amount of reinforcements, the rebars meshing can induce numeri...
