The Impact of Concrete Strength on the Structure Performance under Repeated Loads

Abstract

Reinforced concrete structures such as RC buildings and rigid pavement are exposed to tensions within the impact of repeated loads. Earthquake and wind load could be given as the examples for repeated loads. In this study; compression tests have been conducted under the repeated loads for the attained reinforced concrete samples. Three different samples have been prepared in the study and they have been subjected to compression test. Repetitive compression tests have been applied to each sample and loading has been continued until the concrete is in the status of not being able to bear any more loads. Structure performance analyses have been carried out for the sample reinforced concrete building selected with the use of the concrete compression strengths attained under the repeated loads. The purpose of the study is to reveal how the repeated loads affect the compression strength of the concrete. At what degree these attained concrete compression strengths affect the structure performance has been examined.
