Abstract: | Fatigue life of fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) is theoretically analyzed with a fracture mechanics based model. The model accounts for the effect of cycle-dependent crack bridging properties in FRCs and predicts the number of cycles to failure defined by final fracture subsequent to stable fatigue crack growth in Mode I. The resulting theoretical S-N diagram was compared with experimental data reported in literature. The general agreement supports the validity of the current model, and reveals that cycle-dependent degradation of crack bridging controls fatigue life of FRCs. S-N diagrams are essential for material evaluation and structural design, and the model establishes the link between material structure and S-N diagram in an explicit manner, while the conventional stress-life approach realizes the link in an empirical manner. |
