Recently, as the building structure has been larger, higher, longer and more specialized, the demand of material with high-strength concrete for building has been increasing. In this research, silica-fume was used as an admixture in order to get a high-strength concrete. From the test result, High-strength concrete with cylinder strength of 1,200kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ in 28-days was produced and tested. The static test was carried out to measure the ultimate load, the initial load of flexural and diagonal cracking, crack patterns and fracture modes. The load versus strain and load versus deflection relations were obtained from the static test. The relation of cycle loading to deflections on the mid-span, the crack propagation and the modes of failure according to cycle number, fatigue life and S-N curve were observed through the fatigue test. Based on the fatigue test results, high-strength reinforced concrete beams failed to 57~66 percent of the static ultimate strength. Fatigue strength about two million cycles from S-N curves was certified by 60 percent of static ultimate strength.

This paper presents a fatigue assessment model that was developed for corroded reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened using prestressed carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets. The proposed model considers the fatigue properties of the constituent materials as well as the section equilibrium. The model provides a rational approach that can be used to explicitly assess the failure mode, fatigue life, fatigue strength, stiffness, and post-fatigue ultimate capacity of corroded beams strengthened with prestressed CFRP. A parametric analysis demonstrated that the controlling factor for the fatigue behavior of the beams is the fatigue behavior of the corroded steel bars. Strengthening with one layer of non-prestressed CFRP sheets restored the fatigue behavior of beams with rebar at a low corrosion degree to the level of the uncorroded beams, while strengthening with 20- and 30%-prestressed CFRP sheets restored the fatigue behavior of the beams with medium and high corrosion degrees, respectively, to the values of the uncorroded beams. Under cyclic fatigue loading, the factors for the strengthening design of corroded RC beams fall in the order of stiffness, fatigue life, fatigue strength, and ultimate capacity.

In this paper, fatigue behavior of concrete slab tracks under railway loads by experimental method is discussed. The addition of steel fibers to concrete mix has been receiving more attention as a way of improving the crack behavior of concrete beams an slabs tacks. This study two objectives: 1) to observe the fatigue behavior of fiber reinforced concrete slab in labor, and 2) to present crack propagation and deflection of fiber reinforced concrete slab track under railway loads in the Waghauser test line. Nine beams, two slabs and one test track were experimentally tested.

This paper examines the flexural performance of concrete beams reinforced with glass fibre-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars under fatigue loading. Experiments were carried out on concrete beams of size 1500×200×100 mm reinforced with 10 mm and 13 mm diameter GFRP bars under fatigue loading. Experimental investigations revealed that fatigue loading affects both strength and serviceability properties of GFRP reinforced concrete. Experimental results indicated that (i) the concrete beams experienced increase in deflection with increase in number of cycles and failed suddenly due to snapping of rebars and (ii) the fatigue life of concrete beams drastically decreased with increase in stress level. Analytical model presented a procedure for predicting the deflection of concrete beams reinforced with GFRP bars under cyclic loading. Deflection of concrete beams was computed by considering the aspects such as stiffness degradation, force equilibrium equations and effective moment of inertia. Nonlinear finite element (FE) analysis was performed on concrete beams reinforced with GFRP bars. Appropriate constitutive relationships for concrete and GFRP bars were considered in the numerical modelling. Concrete non linearity has been accounted through concrete damage plasticity model available in ABAQUS. Deflection versus number of cycles obtained experimentally for various beams was compared with the analytical and numerical predictions. It was observed that the predicted values are comparable (less than 20% difference) with the corresponding experimental observations.

최근들어 콘크리트 구조물이 대형화, 고층화, 장대화 및 특수화 됨에 따라 고강도콘크리트의 사용이 요구되고 있으나 고강도콘크리트는 일반강도콘크리트 보다 취성적인 파괴거동을 나타내고 있다. 따라서 취성적인 파괴 특성을 개선하고 균열성장 저항성을 증진시키기 위하여 ACI 363 위원회에서는 섬유보강콘크리트의 사용을 추천하고 있다. 한편, 교량 및 콘크리트 포장 등은 공용기간중에 적어도 수백만회 이상의 반복하중을 받고 있어 피로하중이 지배적이나 이에 대한 피로거동 및 피로강도의 규명이 어려운 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 하이브리드섬유보강 고강도콘크리트의 피로거동과 피로강도를 규명하기 위하여 정적 및 피로시험으로부터 구한 반복회수와 중앙처짐과의 관계를 비교분석 하였으며 S-N선도로부터 피로강도식을 제안하였다.

Recently, fatigue problem become a critical issue in the design of prestressed concrete bridges due to the increase of traffic volumes and use of high-strength materials. Most existing studies are mainly concerned with the fatigue behavior of component materials only such as concrete, reinforcing bars, and prestressing steels and few studies exist that deals with the fatigue behavior of bridge members. An improved analytic formulation for both uncracked and cracked prestressed concrete composite section with cyclic creep effect is developed to take into account the change of neutral axis with crack propagation. The procedure also enables to investigate serviceability limit states, deflection and crack width. The present study allows more realistic analysis and design of prestressed concrete composite girder bridges under fatigue loadings.

This is the second of two part series on experimental studies of grout type transverse joints. In this paper, grout-type transverse joints between precast concrete slabs are tested to study the fatigue behavior. The tests are per-formed with loading equipment designed and constructed especially in the lab to introduce shear fatigue failures on the joints of the test specimens with repeated loads. Non-prestressed as well as prestressed specimens are selected based on static tests and these specimens are studied to identify the effect of prestress on the fatigue strength of the grout type joint. A comparison between prestressed and non-prestressed specimens indicates that longitudinal prestressing is an effective method to increase fatigue strength of the transverse joints. Based on the fatigue test, a rational estimation of the fatigue strength is proposed to aid design of the grout-type transverse joints.

본 논문은 일정진폭의 피로하중을 받는 피리스트레스트 콘크리트 합성거더 교량의 피로해석 절차를 시간의 진행에 따른 재료 특성의 변화양상을 고려하여 정립하였다. 본 논문에서 제시된 방법은 피로하중의 재하에 따라 균열이 진전되면서 생기는 중립축의 이동현상을 고려하였으며, 해석결과는 기존의 제한된 실험자료와 부합되었다. 또한, 건설부에서 규정한 표준 I 단면의 프리스트레스트 콘크리트거더의 피로저항능력을 검토한 결과 충분한 안전도를 갖고 있음을 확인하였다. 그리고 이 방법의 적용으로 임의의 단면형상을 갖는 프리스트레스트 콘크리트 거더의 피로특성을 S-N 곡선의 형태로 나타낼 수 있도록 하였으며, 이는 향후 변동진폭하중하에서의 피로거동 해석에 유용하게 이용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

In this study, the flexural fatigue performance of concrete beams made with 100% Coarse Recycled Concrete Aggregates (RCA) and 100% Coarse Natural Aggregates (NA) were statistically commanded. For this purpose, the experimental fatigue test results of earlier researcher were investigated using two parameter Weibull distribution. The shape and scale parameters of Weibull distribution function was evaluated using seven numerical methods namely, Graphical method (GM), Least-Squares (LS) regression of Y on X, Least-Squares (LS) regression of X on Y, Empherical Method of Lysen (EML), Mean Standard Deviation Method (MSDM), Energy Pattern Factor Method (EPFM) and Method of Moments (MOM). The average of Weibull parameters was used to incorporate survival probability into stress (S)-fatigue life (N) relationships. Based on the Weibull theory, as single and double logarithm fatigue equations for RCA and NA under different survival probability were provided. The results revealed that, by considering 0.9 level survival probability, the theoretical stress level corresponding to a fatigue failure number equal to one million cycle, decreases by 8.77% (calculated using single-logarithm fatigue equation) and 6.62% (calculated using double logarithm fatigue equation) in RCA when compared to NA concrete.

Possibility of fatigue failure in punching shear of reinforced concrete decks of highway bridges is analytically investigated by applying Matsui et al.'s experimental finding to models of 2-meter span decks designed in compliance with previous and current codes. Decks made of concrete of compressive strength of 240㎏/㎠ showed longer fatigue life than decks made of 210㎏/㎠ concrete at the same Md/U rations ; higher Md/U ratio resulted in linger fatigue life but its effect is insignificant in decks having effective depths of 14 and 15cm. Decks designed to higher load factors as specified by current codes showed longer fatigue life than decks designed to lower load factors specified by previous codes ; yet fatigue failure appeared to occur in both decks within their normal life span, thus indicating need for redefining the minimum deck thickness.
