The rapid development of 3D printed concrete (3DPC) technology, in particular the
integration of reinforcement into the components, emphasizes the need for accurate …

The phase field method has gathered significant attention in the past decade due to its
versatile applications in engineering contexts, including fatigue crack propagation modeling …

The limited understanding of the fatigue behavior of reinforced and prestressed concrete
members is one of the reasons why many structures do not reach their expected service life …

Reinforced concrete (RC) infrastructure typically endures repeated subcritical loading
throughout its operational lifespan, potentially compromising structural integrity. A realistic …

Despite of intensive research on concrete fatigue, the transfer of fatigue characteristics
determined at the material level to the structural level remains a challenging issue. In this …

This paper aims to fill the gap in multi-axial fatigue characterization of concrete by
presenting a comprehensive numerical analysis of data from the punch-through shear test …

This paper presents a comprehensive experimental investigation into the thermo-
mechanical interactions and temperature development during high-cycle and high …

Fatigue of plain concrete has been extensively researched for many years. Traditionally,
investigations have focused mainly on compressive or tensile loading and little attention has …

The fatigue behavior of concrete has been usually investigated experimentally for loading
scenarios with constant amplitudes. However, in reality, concrete components and structures …

Rock joints are susceptible to slip instability due to dynamic load disturbances such as
blasting, earthquakes, and fracturation. A series of direct shear tests under the dynamic load …
