要旨 |
Lab-scale reinforced concrete (RC) beams were fabricated and subjected to three-point bending fatigue tests. Parameters changed in the tests include the fatigue load level, curing condition, curing age, fatigue type (dry or wet), and damage by freezing-thawing cycles (FTC). Experimental results show that the disintegration-like deterioration can only be observed in wet fatigue tests under bending failure. The significant reduction in fatigue life is observed in the small-scale specimen with severer FTC damage induced at earlier material age in relatively small specimen. |
