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 …

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 …

An economically efficient yet safe design of concrete structures under high-cycle fatigue
loading is a rather complex task. One of the main reasons is the insufficient understanding of …

The load scenario with a compressive force applied to an anchored bar (push-in mode) has
not been sufficiently addressed so far with reference to fatigue, since most of the studies …

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 …

To characterize the fatigue behavior of concrete, the standard cylinder test has been widely
used for several decades. It is used as an essential test for investigating the uni-axial …

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 …
