This paper presents a new cost-effective hybrid GFRP-Concrete deck system that the GFRP panel serves as both tensile reinforcement and stay-in-place form. In order to understand the fatigue behavior of such hybrid deck, fatigue test on a full-scale specimen under sagging moment was conducted, and a series of static tests were also carried out after certain repeated loading cycles. The fatigue test results indicated that such hybrid deck has a good fatigue performance even after 3.1 million repeated loading cycles. A three-dimensional finite element model of the hybrid deck was established based on experimental work. The results from finite element analyses are in good agreement with those from the tests. In addition, flexural fatigue analysis considering the reduction in flexural stiffness and modulus under cyclic loading was carried out. The predicted flexural strength agreed well with the analytical strength from finite element simulation, and the calculated fatigue failure cycle was consistent with the result based on related S-N curve and finite element analyses. However, the flexural fatigue analytical results tended to be conservative compared to the tested results in safety side. The presented overall investigation may provide reference for the design and construction of such hybrid deck system.

This study aims to establish a new methodological framework for the evaluation of the evolution of the reliability of plain concrete for pavement vs number of cycles under flexural fatigue loading. According to the framework, a new method calculating the reliability was proposed through probability simulation in order to describe a random accumulation of fatigue damage, which combines reliability theory, one-to-one probability density functions transformation technique, cumulative fatigue damage theory and Weibull distribution theory. Then the statistical analysis of flexural fatigue performance of cement concrete tested was carried out utilizing Weibull distribution. Ultimately, the reliability for the tested cement concrete was obtained by the proposed method. Results indicate that the stochastic evolution behavior of concrete materials under fatigue loading can be captured by the established framework. The flexural fatigue life data of concrete at different stress levels is well described utilizing the two-parameter Weibull distribution. The evolution of reliability for concrete materials tested in this study develops by three stages and may corresponds to develop stages of cracking. The proposed method may also be available for the analysis of degradation behaviors under non-fatigue conditions.

Concrete pavements are subjected to traffic and environmental loadings. Repetitive type of such loading cause fatigue distress which leads to failure by forming cracks in pavement. Fatigue life of concrete pavement is calculated from the stress ratio (i.e. the ratio of applied flexural stress to the flexural strength of concrete). For the correct estimation of fatigue life, it is necessary to determine the maximum flexural tensile stress developed for practical loading conditions. Portland cement association PCA (1984) and Indian road congress IRC 58 (2015) has given charts and tables to determine maximum edge stresses for particular loading and subgrade conditions. It is difficult to determine maximum stresses for intermediate loading and subgrade conditions. The main purpose of this study is to simplify the analysis of rigid pavement without compromising the accuracy. Equations proposed for determination of maximum flexural tensile stress of pavement are verified by finite element analysis.

The purpose of this research was to obtain fatigue property of pavement concrete by flexural fatigue test. The size of specimen used in fatigue tests was 10$\times$10$\times$46cm. The specimens of pavement concrete were fabricated using the concrete at job site. The fatigue tests were performed by applying into a constant amplitude loading. The flexural fatigue tests were performed by stress levels of 90%, 80%, 70% and 60%, and stress ratio of 0.1. From this research, the S-N relationship, S-N-P relationship were derived and Weibull probability density functions was plotted using the distribution parameters.

본(本) 논문(論文)에서는 작용되는 피로하중의 크기에 따른 콘크리트의 피로수명분포를 연구(硏究)하였다. 콘크리트보에 대하여 휨피로 실험을 수행하였으며, 피로응력의 크기는 세 가지로서 정적휨강도의 각각 85%, 75% 및 65%로 하여 피로수명을 측정하였다. 본 연구의 실험결과 피로하중의 크기에 따라 확률분포함수의 형태가 비교적 크게 달라짐을 발견하였으며, 이것은 콘크리트의 피로신뢰해석시 피로하중의 크기에 대한 영향을 고려해야 함을 말해 주고 있다. 분포매개변수의 결정은 도식법, 모멘트법 및 Maximum Likelihood 방법에 의거하였다. 콘크리트의 휨피로수명의 Weibull 분포(分布) 형상매개변수는 하중의 크기에 따라 2.0~4.0의 범위에 있는 것으로 나타났다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate and analyze the fatigue test data of pavement concrete. The static strength tests were carried out to check the compressive strength, flexural strength, and split tension strength at 56 days in order to minimize strength variation effect during test. The specimens were fabricated at twelves sections at a construction site of highway. The stress level and stress ratio of fatigue test were determined from static test results. The results are as follow: The flexural strength at 28 days mostly satisfied the criterion for design, but the compressive strength at 28 days were slightly below the criterion even though it satisfied at 56 days. The fatigue limit was 2 million cycles if the specimen was not failed to that cycles. The S-N curves were developed from the fatigue test results at each stress levels and each stress ratio. Then, the fatigue life of pavement concrete at a given stress level and fatigue strength of pavement concrete could be derived from these curves. Analysis using method No.2 was more acceptable because resulting of comparison and analysis using method No.2 was presented 2 sections were presented $R^2$ < 0.7, and other 2 sections were presented 0.7 < $R^2$ < 0.8, and the others 8 sections were $R^2{\geq}0.8$.

The concrete fatigue analysis can be performed with the use of fracture mechanics. The fracture mechanics defines the fatigue crack propagation as the relationship of crack growth rate and stress intensity factor. In contrast to metal, the application of fracture mechanics to concrete is more complicated and therefore many authors have introduced empirical expressions using Paris law. The topic of this paper is development of a new prediction of fatigue crack propagation for concrete using rheological-dynamical analogy (RDA) and finite element method (FEM) in the frame of linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM). The static and cyclic fatigue three-point bending tests on notched beams are considered. Verification of the proposed approach was performed on the test results taken from the literature. The comparison between the theoretical model and experimental results indicates that the model proposed in this paper is valid to predict the crack propagation in flexural fatigue of concrete.

최근에는 다양한 보강재를 매트릭스에 혼입하는 방식으로 콘크리트 재료에 다양한 유형의 성능을 부여하는 연구 개발이 이루어지고 있다. 다량의 섬유를 사용하여 배합된 고인성 콘크리트는 다중균열분산 특성을 가지고 있으며, 이에 대한 다양한 연구가 수행되고 있다. 하지만 정적 하중에 대한 연구가 집중되고 있으며, 반복적인 하중에 대한 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 섬유비율을 달리한 고인성 콘크리트로 보를 제작하였고, 정적 휨시험과 피로 휨시험을 수행하였다. 그 결과 섬유 함량이 휨 거동에 미치는 영향을 분석하였고, 고인성 콘크리트의 하중-수명 관계를 S-N관계식으로 제안하였다. 2%의 섬유 혼입량으로 고인성 특성의 콘크리트를 배합할 수 있었다. 0.5% 섬유를 추가하는 경우 최대 휨강도는 유사하지만 휨인성은 2배 가까이 향상되는 것으로 나타났다. 반면, 두 배합의 피로수명은 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다.
