FATIGUE OF REINFORCED CONCRETE BRIDGES WITH INFLUENCE OF DETERIORATION OF CONCRETE
Fatigue is a process of permanent progressive changes in the structure of a materialexposed to cyclic loading. High stress ranges in these structures can cause crack propagation,consequently reduce stiffness and can lead to fatigue failure. Also, exposing the material toaggressive environment can result in material deterioration, which accelerates the decrease offatigue performance of the construction.The prediction of deflections, and thus serviceability, of concrete bridges subjected tocyclic loading can be calculated by using a fatigue damage function. This function expressesreduced structural stiffness by decreasing of the modulus of elasticity depending on thenumber of load cycles. In this paper, an application of this function is shown in an illustrativeexample of a small concrete bridge.
