FATIGUE BEHAVIOR OF SULFUR CONCRETE
The subject was investigated through a series of tests on several different concrete mixtures for both sulfur and nonsulfur containing concrete. Among the conclusions reached were that sulfur concrete design based on voids-filling and workability can be made with many combinations of aggregate type and grading, and with strength properties equivalent or superior to conventional portland cement concrete; sulfur concrete, though having other physical properties similar to that of conventional concrete, showed drastically different fatigue behavior in that: it can withstand much higher flexural stresses in terms of percent modulus of rupture, and there appears to be an endurance limit; and others.
