Abstract: Fatigue of reinforced concrete (RC) bridge slabs is analyzed based on crack bridging degradation concept. RC slabs are typically subjected to a large number of load repetitions due to traffic, and their failure processes ...

Abstract: In the last few decades, a punching shear failure model has been commonly observed in reinforced concrete (RC) bridge deck slabs around the world, which makes studies on the fatigue performance of RC bridge slabs an urgency. ...

Abstract: This paper highlights the failure mechanism of beams composed of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) box with and without infill concrete, and subjected to four point bending and axial load. In an experimental study ...

Abstract: The flexural fatigue characteristics of two different shotcreted engineered cementitious composites (ECCs) containing polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and polyethylene (PE) fibers respectively were tested under four-point bending. ...
