Study of stiffness and bearing capacity degradation of reinforced concrete beams under constant-amplitude fatigue.

For a reinforced concrete beam subjected to fatigue loads, the structural stiffness and bearing capacity will gradually undergo irreversible degeneration, leading to damage. Moreover, there is an inherent relationship between the stiffness and bearing capacity degradation and fatigue damage. In this...
