Focusing on the effects of cyclic loading on concrete structures, this book explores how high stress ranges can lead to fatigue failure, accelerated crack propagation, and reduced structural integrity. It examines various structures, such as bridges and industrial crane-ways, that face deterioration due to environmental factors. The text presents state-of-the-art research on concrete fatigue, introduces a fatigue damage function based on strain development, and experimentally verifies its application on pre-stressed and reinforced concrete specimens, incorporating material deterioration effects.
