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 …
