Abstract Preliminary to the modeling of the fracture of concrete, it is necessary to make observations at low scale for a better understanding of the phenomena. In this paper, the author shows how to follow the development of the microcracks in a sample during a compressive loading experimentation by the mean of non-destructive takings of replicas observed under S.E.M. The quantification by the stereological method of total projection. Enables to establish a relation between the observed damages and the global behaviour of concrete.
