The Fatigue of Concrete
Publication: Transactions of the American Society of Civil Engineers
Volume 58, Issue 1
Abstract
Since submitting the paper on “The Fatigue of Cement Products,” which showed that, for neat-cement blocks in compression, repeated loading would definitely cause failure where the load was greater than about half the load necessary to crush the specimen with one application, the writer has been investigating the same phenomena where concrete was the material used. This research has included both concrete blocks in compression and reinforced concrete subjected to transverse loading; and, in developing this law of fatigue, about 600 tests have been made.
