The paper provides a general overview of recent developments in the study of the fatigue behaviour of plain and fibre reinforced concrete (FRC). The fatigue performance of plain concrete and FRC, as reported in the literature, is compared in order to quantify the influence of fibre inclusion on fatigue behaviour. Despite the conflicting information regarding the fatigue behaviour of concrete reported in the literature, the majority of researchers show that the inclusion of fibres can benefit the fatigue performance of concrete. |
