      A mathematical formulation for the mechanical response of concrete and similar cemented aggregate mixtures is presented. The stable response, associated with the growth of microcracks, is described by a phenomenological plasticity framework. The transition to unstable response, invoking localized deformation, is considered as a bifurcation problem. The mathematical framework is illustrated by some numerical examples.
