“…The background of the fatigue behavior of the cementitious composite material itself is also very limited. Little work was done on the cyclic behavior, where the number of loading cycles was limited to 100 [6,7].…”

Using large lightweight prefabricated sandwich panels offers great possibilities for the renovation of existing dwellings. By facilitating the installation process it reduces the total renovation time to a couple of days. During their life-time, these panels will be subjected to wind loading, equivalent to a repeated loading. The effect of this loading condition on the structural behavior of the sandwich panels was verified experimentally. Four-point bending tests were conducted, both static and cyclic. Results showed that the subjection to different loading-unloading cycles resulted in a residual deformation and a decreased stiffness. After being subjected to a repeated loading, the residual ultimate capacity was lowered with 30%.

“…The use of Textile Reinforced Concrete (TRC) is increasing in recent years due to its superior properties, such as its excellent load-bearing capacity, high durability, fire-resistant nature, high corrosion resistance, and its various applications in construction [1][2][3][4][5][6]. A variety of materials can be used as textiles, including more common materials, such as carbon fiber, basalt fiber, and glass fiber [1,7].…”

Textile Reinforced Concrete (TRC) is a prefabricated novel lightweight high-performance composite material that can be used as a load-bearing or non-load-bearing component of prefabricated buildings. Making TRC with Ultra-High-Strength Concrete (UHSC) (≥100 MPa) can be considered as a potential improvement method to further enhance its properties. This paper investigated the performance of Ultra-High-Strength Textile Reinforced Concrete (UHSTRC) under flexural loading. A detailed experimental program was conducted to investigate the behavior of UHSC on TRC. In the experimental program, a sudden drop in load was observed when the first crack appeared in the UHSTRC. A detailed analytical program was developed to describe and understand such behavior of UHSTRC found in experiments. The analytical program was found to be in good agreement with the experimental results and it was used to carry out an extensive parametric study covering the effects of the number of textile layers, textile material, textile mesh density, and UHSTRC thickness on the performance of UHSTRC. Using a high number of textile layers in thin UHSTRC was found to be more effective than using high-thickness UHSTRC. The high modulus textile layers effectively increase the performance of UHSTRC.

“…Benkabouche et al (2015) proposed a modified nonlinear cumulative fatigue damage model, extended to multiaxial loading, taking into account the effects of the amplitude and sequence of variable amplitude loading. Mesticou et al (2017) provided, by describing the experimental approach, a detailed description of the behavior of multilayer textile-reinforced concrete (TRC) composites under axial (tensile) olygocyclic fatigue. Bhowmik and Ray (2018) developed an analytical formulation to predict the propagation of crack in plain concrete members subjected to repetitive nature of loading.…”

Cracks have a serious impact on the safety of concrete structures, and the tensile behavior of concrete is the key to control generation and propagation of crack. To improve the safety of concrete structures, it is crucial to understand the mechanical properties of cracked concrete under uniaxial tensile load. In this article, dynamic tensile test and tensile test after different fatigue damage were conducted to investigate the mechanical properties of cracked concrete. First, the damage evolution law of cracked concrete under dynamic tensile load was investigated by means of [Formula: see text] ([Formula: see text]: crack mouth opening displacement) control mode whereupon the relationship of stress– dCMOD considering rates effect was obtained. Then, the change law of cracked concrete under uniaxial tensile load after fatigue damage was studied by analyzing four mechanical parameters including tensile strength, elastic modulus, critical displacement, and fracture toughness. The empirical formulas of the four parameters with numbers of fatigue cycles are given. Furthermore, acoustic emission technology was applied additionally.
