Abstract:

The bending fatigue damage behaviors of a new kind of material-steel fiber-reinforced and polymer-modified concrete was experimentally and theoretically investigated , and the results were compared with those of steel fiber-reinforced concrete. Then , by reasonably defining damage factors , the fatigue damages and the corre-sponding evolution principles of the new material and the steel fiber-reinforced concrete were measured by experiments.A new fatigue damage evolution equation was proposed according to the fatigue accumulative damage theory ,the effectiveness of which was verified by experimental results. Finally , the fatigue damage evolution behaviors of the two above-mentioned materials under the same stress were analyzed and compared. The results show that the steel fiber-reinforced and polymer-modified concrete is of better fatigue resistance than the steel fiber-reinforced concrete.

Key words: steel-fiber reinforcement, polymer, concrete, bending fatigue, damage
