Experimental Investigation on Concrete Slab Fatigue Resistance

Article Preview

Abstract:

The paper summarizes results of pilot fatigue testing of concrete slabs resting on granular base in testing box. The project aimed at verification of recent findings that fatigue resistance of concrete slabs is much higher than that predicted by using concrete fatigue characteristics from beam testing. Paper presents additional testing results that confirm enhanced fatigue resistance of concrete slabs. Further research is envisioned to supplement pilot testing results and to receive new results also on fatigue resistance under concrete recycling scheme.
