Fatigue Behavior of Elastic Concrete-Steel Composite Beams

Abstract:

As a new material type, elastic concrete has been used in pavement and bridge deck paving due to its superior properties to ordinary concrete. Nowadays, fatigue behavior of steel-concrete composite beams has become the focus in engineering design. This paper summarized the research status, methods, influence factors on fatigue behavior of elastic concrete and steel-concrete composite beams and compared various fatigue specifications among different countries. The result shows that elastic concrete has longer fatigue life than ordinary concrete, so we can solve fatigue problems by using elastic concrete instead of ordinary concrete in composite beams. Finally the author puts forward suggestions for further advanced study in this area.
