Fatigue of Concrete
Also Known As:
The ACI SP-41:1974 standard covers various aspects related to the fatigue properties of plain concrete, as well as reinforced concrete. The standard explores the effects of age, moisture condition, and rate of loading on the fatigue strength of plain concrete. It also includes research reports on the fatigue properties of different types of reinforcement, including rebar, welded wire fabric, and reinforced concrete.
The table of contents reveals the different topics covered in the standard. It includes sections on the strength and deformation characteristics of plain concrete under high repeated and sustained loads, the effects of moisture condition, age, and rate of loading on fatigue of plain concrete, and the contribution of reinforcement to the fatigue strength of concrete.
Additionally, the standard delves into specific investigations, such as the design factors affecting the fatigue strength of reinforcing bars, the effect of surface characteristics on the fatigue strength of reinforcing steel, and stress concentrations caused by reinforcing bar deformations. It also covers the fatigue characteristics of welded wire fabric, fatigue in bond and shear of reinforced concrete beams, and the fatigue resistance of under-reinforced prestressed beams.
