Gel Expansion and Loading differences in model

Crack formation changes according to localization of the gel. this correlation brings a challenge in modelling. Which loading point will successfully represent Gel expansion?
Recently explored various loading options on a hypothetical section with a low aggregate-paste ratio. Different images represent various loading points, On; aggregate, ITZ, aggregate+ITZ, respectively.

Also comparative stress distribution after certain amount of crack growth

Just a reminder!
