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 …

The fatigue of concrete has been the subject of research for many years, and yet, there are
still open questions. In particular, the fatigue‐induced damage evolution accompanied by a …

In spite of an extensive research in the past few decades, design of beams without shear
reinforcement is still considered to be a challenging task. With the goal of develo** …

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 …

Many concrete structures, such as bridges and wind turbine towers, fail mostly due to the
fatigue rapture and bending, where the cracks are initiated and propagate under cyclic …

The establishment of a simple engineering rule for predicting the fatigue failure of concrete
has been pursued over the past decades. An energetic approach to the matter seems to be …

This paper presents a damage constitutive equation capturing the feature of strain
localization and, on this basis, proposes a novel damage constitutive model for concrete …

In quasi-brittle materials such as concrete, numerical methods are frequently used to
simulate the crack propagation for monotonic loading. However, further research and action …
