STRENGTH OF CONCRETE UNDER CONSTANT AND VARIABLE PULSATING FATIGUE LOAD

RESISTANCE DU BETON AUX SOLLICITATIONS CYCLIQUES CONSTANTES OU VARIABLES

A study is presented of the fatigue strength of concrete, stress distribution and deformations under repeated loads varying in magnitude and frequency. The lifetime of concrete is evaluated using Miner's hypothesis of linear accumulation of damages due to stresses exceeding fatigue strength. Results of tests in ordinary and lightweight concrete are given together with general conclusions on the effects of service loads. This article is a translation into French of an original German article entitled: "Betonfestigkeit bei Konstanter und Veraederlicher Dauerschwellbeanspruchung" which was publised in Betonwerk, Fertigteil-Technik, 1979 (3), 158-63.
