Abstract
The fatigue damage mechanisms of concrete under repeated loads are studied. Based on the results of fatigue tests of concrete beam specimens, new fatigue phenomena and process are found and a computing formula is put forward. The physical meanings of the formula are explained from the standpoint of mesoscopic fracture mechanics and damage mechanics. This formula could be used to predict the fatigue life or remaining life of concrete constructions.
