Effects of pre-fatigue damage on high-cycle fatigue behavior and chloride permeability of RC beams
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract High cycle fatigue behaviors (crack widths, deflections and fatigue life) and chloride permeability of RC beams were experimentally investigated. The experiment processes included initial fatigue loading followed by 3 months of NaCl solution wet-dry cycles without loading, and then fatigue life tests before chloride content measurement. The loading levels (ratio of the maximum fatigue loads over the ultimate static strength) and initial fatigue loading cycles are taken as parameters in this study. Results show that: (1) the fatigue behaviors of RC beams are greatly affected by the loading level and chloride corrosion, but they are rarely influenced by the initial fatigue loading cycles; (2) chloride content markedly increase when the loading levels exceed 0.3; (3) at the loading levels of 0.4 and 0.45, combined actions of initial fatigue damage and chloride corrosion cause at least 13% decrease of the total fatigue life; (4) initial fatigue loading cycles barely affect the residual fatigue life of RC beams when initial fatigue damage of RC beams are in the slow variation stage of damage development.
